Wierdness with the ta-152.
« on: July 30, 2002, 10:00:41 PM »
In offline when i do airstarts with the 152 the nose pitches up and it starts falling tail first, until it gets a bit of speed (about 120mph).  I know nothing about FM, physics and aero-dynamics so i can anyone explain this to me?  I thought it was maybe it was tail heavy but now i'm not sure, just confused.:D

Ooops! forgot to add that this was done with auto-start off so the engine wasn't running.  I was just surprised that's all, i expected it to pitch down not up.

It's odd you should post this. I flew my first 152 sortie this tour tonight. I was at 30k and hit auto-level. It flung me into a wild flat spin that I've never seen before. The nose would not go down no matter what. It just rotated around the horizon and bounced up and down. Finally, at 8k I managed to get the gear out and it finally forced the nose down enough that I could recover. It was a very funky flat spin.

Use trim on angle autopilot first,  it will never spin you

One thing it likes to do.. auto pilot at high alt and low speed.. you'll flat stall it's almost a for sure deal.  

Not sure about that low speed stall where you fall arse first. Only suggestions I have is to maybe treat it like a hammer head stall.. kick in right or left rudder and hope it pulls out quick.  I'll play with it tonight and give ye a better idea thrilla.

Now that its a cheap perk plane..never new they lowered it to 20 perks.. I'll fly it a bit more..
