I rarely fly Corsairs and I have read about their funny landing characteristics and toughness, this illustrates both, and how a bit of phone ack and a lack of concentration can manifest themselves :huh

Are you getting paid by 4shared for new members? ;)

Sorry I have to sort that out, The GFC Fileshare account. It's on my todo list, item number 4012.

Good golly Danny, that's one dodgy landing.
Pass the sick bag :uhoh
-
Where have you been Dolby and why?
-
Danny I'm no Corsair jock but I've found that speed, approach and flaps are key to landing. Allow at least one runway lenght of straight in approach. Your speed at that point should be 120 ias with 2-3 notches of flaps. Reduce to 110 as you set wheels down and be prepared to input some left rudder. Let some speed bleed off as your rolling down the RW...THEN...gently apply brakes.
Hope that helps.

I wish I could. If I could pull of moves like that at will I would be top stick :)

Did the same with a La-7, F4Us, and Temepest. If you come in fast enough and apply rudder at the wrong moment, you go sideways and the torque carries you along that path and you go backwards. Usually with the removal of the tail section.

Did not look... figured ground loop

Nope, u/c down flaps down, ruddering to scrub speed, talking on the blower when i hit a lump in the ground and bounced back into the air, spun rpund, landed backwards, put brakes on and stopped with no damage. Then landed my kills. Wierd :headscratch:

Sounds like a standard SAPP landing but in an unauthorized aircraft.

Remember one day when we were dueling you got a G14, I got a P47 and we took off opposite ends of the runway and tail slid until we were flying backwords and crash/landed it :rofl I still have those films :lol
That is what this reminded me of for some reason :rofl

How dare you sir, flying is a serious business, you'd never catch me messing around doing stupid or dangerous things :lol

bloo plane......i dont like it. "paranoid smiley"

land, raise flap, pull stick to rear to lock tailwheel. Alternatively, join the 80th and start flying a 38' :p
:x

38's are for girls :old:
-
for zack ^^

yup, ground loop... Only you survived... :rock

What an inappropriately named thing :old:

Except no looping. Just rotation around the vert axis :headscratch:

Just because you bounced does not change the fact you were on the ground. Once you think about it.... it's actually very well named. :aok
