From the post, it seems you are re-learning Aces High after an extended leave of absence (since AH 1 days?). If I have mis-read this (and it is possible I have) then please ignore the following.

If this is the case, there are several ways to take off in a F4U. First you can use auto takeoff. Second you can pull the stick back 25% (or maybe it's 50%?) to lock the tail wheel. Third, just use rudder. Have your rudder calibrated (whether twisty or pedals) and just rudder yourself back straight. It is much easier with pedals to do a hands-free takeoff (IMO). The corsair, along with a select few other planes, is not easy to take off in without practice. It also has quirks when landing (as do those other select planes), and you may touch down safely only to find yourself ground looping moments later. If you really are re-learning from scratch I would very much suggest something similar to a F4U, but not an F4U. Try an F6F, for example. Move back to the F4U after a lot of practice.

I seem to ask you once a month or so, since I can never remember the answer...

Though I usually remember when I see you on the boards, as I remember talking to you in WB about having a NY/NE MiniCon back in '99 or '00, somewhere in there.

You go by Blkmgc because you thought your wife was a witch, right?

So what happened to WB players?


I flew both, and quite enjoyed both.

Hi!

Ex-WBirder myself, came to AH in Tour 33 and stayed. The squad moved first but I had to hang on due to a very slow machine...

Managed to keep my callsign, "r" cropped and everything...When I moved and waited for a phone line for 6 months, I kept paying my subscription to keep my callsign...

Still flying around, still in 249 after all these years...
