heh well if this is a serious post... i will reply in kind...
To #1... fly at 5,000ft alone
#2. Don't pull up too steep after takeoff. Pick up some speed before pulling the nose up to start climbing. (or use auto takeoff)
in bombers make sure your flaps are up and u aren't carring more than 50% fuel. Usually 25% suffices with 50% for long runs.
#3. Check your keymapper in setup, for the gear key(none is not a key). Your plane MUST be going less than 200mph for the gear to come down in all planes with the exception of the f4u's.
