Author Topic:   P51d, undercarrage always buckling? UKSUB Cadet posted 06-08- 05:05 PM                Does anyone know why the P51d undercarrage always buckles? Just as you make your approach to the runway - drop the undercarrage & volia - Buckled wheels.. Help IP: Logged Biggles3 Pilot posted 06-08- 05:09 PM                tryed slowing down maybe...na i do it all the time. the 51s undarage has a speed limit soo put 1 notch of falp down and get nice and slow then pop the gear out. IP: Logged Snickers Pilot posted 06-08- 05:11 PM                I forget what the magic number is, but 180 moh sounds about right..... Over that speed the gear take damage. So make sure you get them up right away too...

Its obviously an easy thing to check. The Mustang has always had weak legs, you gotta go easy.

You can also run at full throttle all day without blowing your engine but whatch the fuel gauge. HB IP: Logged UKSUB Cadet posted 06-09- 07:06 AM                Yeh, your right it's a speed thing. Thanks for your help. 8-) IP: Logged
