So you cartwheeled when landing, no biggie.  I pictured you screaming in straight down at high speed to hit the ground.

Good choice though, an F4U-1!  I can't tell you how many times I auger when dogfighting low alt and speed.  But that's why I like the plane, it's a challenge for me.  Next, after I am able to not kill myself, I'm gonna work on killing others!  
When I land the Corsairs, I land at about 100 mph and I retract my flaps just as I'm about to touch ground, to make sure I have as little lift as possible and I stay down.  Also, I don't apply brakes until the tailwheel is down.  I have no clue how people with no rudders land this bird.

[edit] I meant "rudder pedals"

I was goin 300 mph nose diving into ground then it bounced back and floated down! It must have been a "conectivity issue" like Catabria said...
