The plane is definitely sensitive and VERY easily over controlled...I think that is most of the problem. I also believe people don't tell all ie problems they have had for fear of others opinion. I think the tail is big enough. It seems from what I can gather the elevator can run out of pitch control on landing causing a hard nose landing. My answer is to not land on a full header tank. I don't really have that much time but I have solved my understanding/learning curve Hope this is of some help...jim Guldi CFI Fri, May 25, 2012 at 11:58 AM, Justin H wrote: > Flight training is key with any new unfamiliar aircraft you will be > flying.
