i flew the first 3 flights on my new hangar 9 value series cessna this weekend after i got it all put together.. i brought it in the first time and set it kinda hard.. the second flight was deadstick but i brought it down fast just to see if i could set it softer, not really successful maybe a little softer.. the third time was also deadstick and i have no idea why it keeps dying but fortunately it floats well so i brought it in even faster, i mean a screaming dive and it finally set nice. my question is should i add some weight to the rear to make it set down a little easier on landing? i mean the plane glides great and i can even with the engine out pull straight back on the elevator and it wont snap! i pull full elevator (with engine cut) and it stands at about a 50 deg. angle then slowly goes nose down and only drops about 10 ft. before it starts to climb again! it is a great flying plane, just doesnt want to set down smooth and soft like i like it.. tends to hit a little hard on the nose and i was landing it in tall grass since it was my first few flight i didnt want it to do something strange on pavement, and i would try to set it soft on the top of the 2.5' tall grass but it would nose down and flip tail over nose all three times no damage at all because i got the speed down and the grass would give. i want to get it on pavement, but i dont want it hitting the front tricycle gear hard so i was wondering if weighting the rear will make it set a little more on the rear wheels and less on the nose gear?
