A few different airplanes I've flown, bombers, fighters....upon landing and roll out, I just yaw from one side to the other. It acts like the F4U is notorious for if you land a bit hot

I've re-synched my controls and I still find the landing roll the hairiest part of some of these flights.

once you get below stall speed try holding your JS back a bit to lock the tail wheel..........
I think it's 20% of the stick motion....

Where do I find that? I was looking at the E6B and tried to find on the clipboard where winds aloft are?
