Title: Take off with the coast guard
Post by Tabbi on Jul 13^th, 2008 at 11:09am

Hi I recently bought the great c-130 x.
Now I wonder myself that I cant take off with the coast guard on floats.
I only get 90kts not anymore. And it wont take off.
What do I wrong?
Nothing I tried helped.

Ok Take of on water for coast guard with floats. I could only T/O with flaps set to 70 the pull back at 110knts. With flaps up it will not go over 90knts with flaps at 70 you get plenty of speed and take off no problem. Hope this helps you out. Oh and i took off from PHNL water 26 and turned the a/c to point out to sea to make sure i had more then enough space. I used eng reversers on 2 eng and forward on the other 2 to turn the a/c. Good luck.
