carusoam Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 In NJ, after a heavy snow fall, the Cessnas are all facing the sky. The weight of the snow is enough to send the Cg behind the mains... A little melting, The snow slides off, and the nose wheel smacks the pavement... Don’t let the snow slide off..! That could get expensive... Best regards, -a-

Revelstoke Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 Done on purpose to change the nose wheel I think
