Don't feed it before you fly it, and if you do, wait one hour. Also, never, ever stand under its tail. Don't say you weren't warned.

I've was having hassle with the Cub believe it or not. I just kept ground looping it all over the place. I read up in the help about flying/landing taildraggers which is slightly harder than tricycles, so perhaps you should have a read of the notes Nicolaj? >> Stay informed about: Grumman Goose FSX tips over when branking on land

From what I've seen of the FSX version it's much better. Sort of like the Maule, close to payware quality. -- boB copter.six >> Stay informed about: Grumman Goose FSX tips over when branking on land

For anyone who doesn't have FSX, there is an excellent FS9 Goose by Bill Lyons in the AVSIM file library; used to be payware, one of my all time favorites. _________________________________________________________ Posted via the -Web to Usenet- forums at http://forums.simradar.com Visit www.simradar.com and try our Flight Simulation Search Engine! >> Stay informed about: Grumman Goose FSX tips over when branking on land

Actually, it's an amphibious flying boat. Rather ungainly and front heavy on land. Check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_Goose Tail-draggers can nose over if braking too hard at high speed, especially the nose heavy ones. It's best to hold full up elevator and pulse the brakes after tail wheel contacts the ground until down to taxi speed. ID >> Stay informed about: Grumman Goose FSX tips over when branking on land

I can fly stuff OK on my present one, but it takes too long to load up and to change airfields etc. -- Cheers Quilly For four good books to read look at... http://www.quilljar.btinternet.co.uk/covers.htm Buy three or four altogether and get economy postage. >> Stay informed about: Grumman Goose FSX tips over when branking on land
