lehbird Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hello: For some reason I can not get the aircraft to pitch down. I have the trim maxed out down and the aircraft continues to climb even with full forward yoke pressure. Any idea why that might happen? Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lehbird Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) User Error I think. I had damaged the elevator linkage somehow. All seems ok now. Edited October 31, 2018 by lehbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xterminator24 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I had the same issue on a my 3rd flight @lehbird. I was actually feathering the prop and gliding to try lose altitude and get back to my departure airport. It was quite a challenge. In my case, I had a tail strike on departure due to me advancing the throttles way too quickly with a fully loaded plane. I did a wheelie and tail hit the ground. I took off anyway which was a really bad idea. In my case I had broken the elevator linkage, rudder linkage, and poked a hole in the fuselage. It was an expensive day.
