0235 with wood prop. Seems to be a common problem. At rotation speed it takes a lot of back pressure to raise the nose. On landing the nose wants to fall thru abruptly. Here is what think. Too much weight designed forward of the mains. I spoke to Zenith and was told the design included the 0235. I've considered moving the axles fwd a few inches, some calculations involved, letting the tail have a little more authority. Everyone's thoughts?
