Ok so hytek pops into MA today to answer questions. Since I look like Will Smith but sound Like Adam Sandler and with the bombardment of questions he paid me no mind.

WHY DO I GET TOSSED OVER THE BACK OF CV WHEN CATCHING FIRST OR SECOND LINE????

I need a response before I

Bust a cap up in here...
Twist some wigs...
Cream some crops...
Split some heads till the white meat shows...
Or give out a collection of OOOO WEEEEEE knots...

Never been tossed off the back of a cv, unless I've left the hook down and tried to take off after rearming.

How exactly do you do it?

Give it a try.. I land hitting first or second rope and instantly get thrown over the back. Its like the line is a rubberband. It happens to me alot to the point that i might start missing all the lines so if im short I wont get tossed.

Are you making high speed traps? Come in at just above stall speed.

jamusta · « **Reply #6 on:** July 10, 2003, 08:31:58 PM »

I come in about 120 but have caught the other lines at 150 - 175 and its fine. 200 u flip. I just dont get it.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong... you're not making your landing at 200 mph are you? Cause if you are, I know what you're doing wrong...

ed: I make my landing just above stall speed, full flaps. Dunno the speed, but probably aroud 100mph. Never had a problem.

jamusta · « **Reply #8 on:** July 10, 2003, 08:50:34 PM »

No not at 200 but I have had to before. I usually RTB all shot up But I would say avg speed of 120.

Make sure your throttle zeros completly.

If your throttle is miscalibrated, you'll land and stop with just a tiny bit of throttle(That is, you'll start backing up) if you back up over the wires with your hook down, your plane rockets backwards off the desk.

HMMM I will check on the calibration thingy... Thanks

Nope i think i know why...

There is only one way you can be thrown off the ship backwards and thats if your using throttle to move backwards on the cv AND your Hook is hanging..

It will shoot you off the deck.. So next time you land with a hook, remember to hit Shift G to retract the hook before rolling back..

And thats how that problem is solved
