If you're just flying it for airstrikes from carriers, why did you need all this information

1. Load rockets

2. Point nose at ground

3. Click button

4. Rocket go "boom!"

Because even when i know alot about the aircraft, i still suck. Imagine if i just flew the F4U!!! All the Bish and Rooks would get an EASY kill!

I seriously question the limits the gear can handle, as well as the ability for the corsair's nose to stay level even with the gear out.

I disagree with the modeling, except for a low speed, level bomb run with napalm in Korea you simply don't see it. I can't imagine that much drag would give you an even halfway decent gun platform.

Have a look at this.

They drop gear in this film and it looks completely controllable.
It's not like the gear insta pops, it lowers and is compensated for.

According the Corsair pilots manual, the landing gear could be used as dive-breaks up to 400mph.

F4UDOA · « **Reply #38 on:** August 17, 2006, 09:48:58 PM »

Actually the dive limit restriction on the break was lifted in the updated F4U-1D POH.

You could have it deployed at any speed and they could even be deployed up to 400MPH altough the manual says they may not fully lock in position.

I agree. Although the gear might stay on, wouldnt it pull the nose down?!?

Did you even look at the link i provided? It's a f4u training film.

Near the end they drop gear at alt and at cruise speed.

I watched it, im just in disbeleif at the engineering. I must say, although I dont exactly have a good relationship with the Corsair, that is a great example of dream engineering!

Your able to drop the gear doing like 400mph, chop throttle, drop gear and start putting down your flaps. I just float in and land right at the end of the runway. Then you just roll around and re-arm and roll again.

On flying it, you want to know how to fly the Hog get ahold of AKDogg, one of my squadies. He flys that thing hard and rips things apart landing multiple kills all the time.

Using the flaps and the throttle are a major way of flying the Hog good. Learning to use them together takes time but you can get into a good float with that thing and just hang up there in the sky.

Heres how to not groundloop- Backpressure on the stick as soon as you land. Locks the tailwheel.
