Anyone else experience in the gruman goose during takeoff on land that the nose dips trying to scrape the ground around 40 knots or just me ? :s :o

Hi Joker and welcome to SimV.
Yes my Goose does the same thing. I think the secret may be to add nose up trim before the takeoff role. Seems to work for me.

And I thought it was just my poor flying skills.

I just pull the stick back when the tail starts up. Might not be the most scientific approach but it works.

Yeah i thought something was off but i tried and if you set the trim right its works must just be the aircrafts center of gravity? :S
