ok sling +) but!! ya better try before HT issues the patch which will resolve the problem lol.

I got the lanc with 75% in the air for about 10 seconds before she slowly sank back into the trees. Even then I was not able to reach sufficient speed for takeoff within the confines of the base.
No auto takeoff
Flaps up until close to the end of the runway then dropped 3-4 notches i forget
abit of up elevator trimmed in
no CT
not possible

SKurj

Its possible buddy....you pop a couple notches of flap at end of runway, pull up quick, retract gear and flaps and then ride the stall horn until you can level it out. When is the patch comin' out? I wont get home until around 10 or so my time. But believe me...it can be done.

couldnt they remove a few more trees around the base? easier than a total remodel of bases surely?
