J170 Owner Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 So, has anybody received their kits yet? I have asked for mine, maybe six weeks ago, no response, not even a squeak. The one J170 I have seen with the upgrade has suffered a tail strike during a flapless approach and I hear this has happened to other J170s. Any news would be nice. Actually a recall of the upgrade would be terrific! Happy landings.....
turboplanner Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 From my own experience with a J170, I would say if you experience a tail strike, the nose attitude will be too high, and you will be presenting enough of that big long wing to the air to get a big surprise if there's a sudden quartering gust. Landing with the nose wheel about 200 mm off the ground is about right, and then new kit parts won't strike.
