Badhorse:
If you're thinking of flying the F4U more, one additional tip that will save you lots of frustration landing on airstrips.
The F4U has a tailwheel that can turn in any direction, but that is locked when the theres good downward pressure. When landing, come down slow enough that pulling back firmly doesn't shoot you back up in the air...which I usually do at about 100mph with flaps out. When you touch down, pull back firmly on the stick, and if you think you might be too fast to keep wheels on runway, pull a few notches of flaps back up right then. The nose should stay straight with a bit a rudder. Again, the whole key is to pull back firmly enough to get nice downward pressure on the tailwheel from the back end of the aircraft.
If you don't lock the tailwheel, the nose will spin in wild directions, you'll ground loop, and large chunks of airplane will fall off.
A couple tries and you ought to have it down.
