Default RE: Help with the bobcat bounce....

Landing a jet is done by Flying the Angle of Attack.

Typically it's around 5 degrees nose up. Never lower the Nose as someone said U will build speed.

Pitch controls ur speed and power controls ur descent rate.

After the mains touch it doesn't mean ur done Flying keep holding back pressure / aft stick.

The Guy's gave u great advice.

Oh - one more note about the spoileron setup - you do not need to use flaps with it. (The bigger version has a split wing flap below the wing, and we found that it's not necessary when you deploy the spoilers.) I initially programmed in Flaperons...made the bounce worse...elevator felt REALLY mushy. The added bonus of the spoilerons is that you still have full elevator without all the mushy stuff that the flaps add in. I have a bit of down (10%) mixed in at full spoiler deployment, and I use the 3-way switch to deploy at 1/8 with 7% and 1/4" with 10%..

The spoilers will slow the plane down as well....try it. It makes it act like you would expect it to. OpJose has created a G3.5 model if you'd like to try it out. He convinced me with it, and wow do I get compliments after I land!

Good luck,
Mark
