Author Topic: Possible 109g14 bug - tail bounce (Read 240 times)

Krusty · « **on:** March 20, 2006, 08:38:57 PM »

Took a G14 up offline to see what changes there were, flew around, shot a few drones, made a pretty gentle landing, was on full brakes until I stopped completely, but it wasn't a harsh landing. After the final stop, the tail came down and instantly banged itself off (not even a bounce, just "Crash!!" and I had no tail).

EDIT: A similar post was made about 10 threads down, sorry for similar/duplicate report.

Did you download the patch? the readme file says it fixed the tail breaking off on the 109.

I bypassed the non-patch, went from 2.06 to 2.07 patch1 (I didn't download it til tonight)

Same here.

I also went from 2.06 to 2.071 directly.

There are no problems when you manage a good 3-point landing with very slight bounces, but if the speed is a bit high during landing, and the tail wheel 'lands down' after the plane comes to a stop, the rear section is suddenly destroyed.

This isn't a new bug.... had it happen a few times when the G-14 first came out.
