Ju88 braking gear during landing problem

Author	Topic: Ju88 braking gear during landing problem
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 12-19- 07:32 AM I have watched it so often, if AI wants to land the Ju88, he touched the runway a few times and then brake the gear. How to fix this? Rendsburger IP: Logged
Commando Pilot	posted 12-19- 02:01 PM The DM of all the Ju88's needs tweaking to increse the strength of the undercarriage a bit, seems very fragile in comparision to other planes. IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 12-19- 04:47 PM Commando, do you know exactly wich part is to change (the piston?), maybe i can change this, but i have little time to find it out, i´m still working at the Ju52. Rendsburger IP: Logged
Commando Pilot	posted 12-20- 02:33 PM I will do a few bad landings (not difficult , they seem to come quite naturally to me) tonite and see which part seems the weakest. IP: Logged
Commando Pilot	posted 12-20- 05:13 PM Rendsburger, the weak point is the top end of the undercarriage strut where it connects to the plane within the engine nacelle, they splay outwards on hard contact and then on next bounce they detach completely, also the wheels detach easily, the wheel-less struts then sink into thr ground. Hope that helps. IP: Logged
