Comet 1 Difficulties
Posted: 30 Sep 2008, 19:47
I have been flying this lovely new model, which hand flies rather nicely, until....
Several times on very short finals at perhaps 20 feet AGL, Airspeed good, Attitude ok , Power OK , Autopilot disengaged , there is suddenly an enormous pitchdown which cannot be overpowered resulting in a crash. It feels like runaway trim, but I have a feeling it may be due to autopilot settings
I do have the Nav/gps switch enabled, but it happened before I made that alteration as well
Any ideas please?
