Hi,

I was Wondering,,

In real life, do the Tornado GR4/F3's have a nose down attitude at low-level,and high speed?

I have been flying the IRIS Gr4 and the DSB F3 an have noticed up to a 5 degree nose down attitude at low level and high speeds, this is apparent throughout all wingsweep configurations...

Would Anyone be able to shed some light on this?? :think:

Cheers.

Nope the tonka does not have a nose down attitude. the fly by wire system [CSAS] keep sthe aircraft straight and level at all speeds and wing positions, buy the use of 3 gyros.

not by gyos but by wingsweep and airspeed scheduling since the gyros only detect a disturbance not an attitude since they are rate gyro's
