... I wish my oldman had lived to see that. He hated the Merlin engined spanish things they passed off as 109s...

Yeah it was flying pretty sideways!

Glad the pilot got it down!

Post by: VOR on January 11, 2006, 10:58:01 PM: Outstanding video! Thanks! Watching a real Gustav take off and land gives me a sense of how difficult it must be to keep everything under control. Those little narrow landing gear plus a grass strip....wow. That vid's a keeper!

Well its not like he was landing on a nice hard & smooth paved runway either. LOL

Second landing I thought he did pretty well

Post by: GRUNHERZ on January 11, 2006, 11:39:09 PM: 109s are much safer to land on grass than on paved runways because the grass is less stick which reduces the chance of a wheel locking up.

Post by: expat on January 12, 2006, 12:16:32 AM: A group in Germany converted a Spanish 'Bouchon' (forgive spelling)to 190G standard , they used the parts from 25 different DB engines , first flight was august 2004 , it crashed on landing last year , it ground looped ripping of the engine and causing quite a bit of damage .No-one was hurt and they are currently rebuilding the 109...
U guy's in the states have a far more beautifull 109 though , the 109E owned by the guy from Microsoft.......now thats a plane!!!! :aok

There was probably a rook LA-7 heading in for the vulch and he was trying to tower out fast.

Post by: Maverick on January 12, 2006, 12:53:41 PM: Very nice crosswind landing with a substantial slip on approach. The guy is good to make it look as smooth as he did.

It had a much sharper stacato sound than the Merlin. It may be the lightly shorter stacks on it not tuning the exhaust as much.

Nice clip, thanks

Post by: JBA on January 12, 2006, 01:08:45 PM: I'm no pilot, but could he have been slightly side ways in order to see the ground better, Looks tough to look over the cowling on those things?
Title: nice Bf-109G6 sound
Post by: Habu on January 12, 2006, 01:10:47 PM: I thought so too. He looked like he was slipping it in in order to be able to see past the nose. Then he could not estimate the ground distance and bounced it.

What is the history of that plane? Anyone know?

That is exactly it. A curved approach was normal for many of those old fighters. You had to do it in a Spitfire too. It's not exactly replicated in AH. I tend to make a curved approach for the the fun of it in the game. A straight in approach is not exactly realistic particularly in a Spitfire or 109. But I understand why the realism has been toned down a notch in AH. It would be damm hard to land any kills if the handling was too realistic. In a real F4U if you slammed in full power during a slow speed approach. You would torque roll into the ground. Not in the game.

Great sound of that engine too. You can actually hear the supercharger whine.
