DaveSD Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Tuesday I finally switched to a Winwing Orion 2 flight stick and throttle, from whatever I was using before. I now sometimes see an extreme pitch-up when taking off, mainly from a carrier, which I didn't experience before. I've been doing everything the same (although they may have been things I shouldn't have been doing) - I reset the FCS and then I click the take-off trim button. Sometimes I even spread the wings when I'm on the carrier. (Kidding.) Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to be the subject of a Grampa Pettibone story. Edited January 13, 2023 by DaveSD
rob10 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Make sure you have the FLAPS set to 1/2 (not AUTO) for takeoff. That's usually the 1st culprit with that symptom. Next thing that sometimes can cause this is GAME AVIONICS (but if it's not always happening, very likely the flaps). 1

Ah, flaps, that's almost certainly what the problem is. Thanks rob10! Dave 1
