Tailslide Pilot	posted 06-08- 12:55 AM The ground handling is driving me buggy I crash about half the time on takeoff Is there a sure fire way to make it off the ground or can someone PLEASE try and tweak the ground handling? TS ------------------ Patch It! TS Aircombat IP: Logged
Army puke SFC Pilot	posted 06-08- 01:46 AM For the JU88 just put full flaps and pull hard on the stick. IP: Logged

Tailslide Pilot	posted 06-08- 02:09 AM Army puke, that works like a charm !!! Fantastic, I can take off every time and the tail doesn't go flinging around. Just make sure you are perfectly lined up on the runway before takeoff because its hard to change direction like that. It sort of works for the p51 too.. full flaps full back stick until you get to 70mph or so then rotate. TS IP: Logged
Jaguar Pilot	posted 06-08- 05:27 AM did you try crankshaft's idea? it works even better! LOL. Thanks for the tip Army, I was having the same problem. ------------------ Cheers! Jaguar The FS Hangar IP: Logged
Snickers Pilot	posted 06-08- 10:59 AM In the 51, while first starting the rollout, pull all the way back on the stick. Then at about 50 mph push forward to bring the tail up. Now you stear with the rudder instead of the tailwheel. And I know that you know not to take the pony off at full throttle... ------------------ Snickers =FC= IP: Logged
spin Pilot	posted 06-09- 04:08 PM I don't use flaps but I sure have to pull back on the stick for both of these - and then I get ready for a big twist when the tail comes up. I find flaps slow the ju88 down (it takes longer to reach airspeed) - now and then I will apply flaps as I take off to add lift but not until speed is up. IP: Logged
Army puke SFC Pilot	posted 06-09- 07:02 PM For the Spits pull hard on the stick with full flaps and full throttle, and use aileron to prevent the wings from touching the ground. At flying speed the plane will lift off automatically so just realese the stick and off she goes. Same for most other single-engines. IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 06-09- 07:10 PM With the spit, you don't need to bury the tailwheel or use flaps. Just hit the right arrow key six times to trim the ailerons before you start, and normal rudder once the tail comes up will keep it on the runway. IP: Logged
