Black 6 crash cause?

[Die Hard]

Ya but if you turn 1 way it has a good chance of rolling over while your trying 2 land.

What do you mean "turn 1 way"? You're not supposed to turn on landing, that's why runways are straight.

I mean when your lining it up 2 go in straight.

IMHO they didn't have so much between them (Spits...109's etc)
109 made some reputation about ground loops and nose-overs. (Somewhere I have one fine picture of one...on a fine runway). Gunther Rall quoted on the slats as necessary, for without them the aircraft would have been too difficult to land.
What I know of the nose-over is that it would normally kill the pilot. The Pilot of Black 6 did get stuck in the cockpit untill the aircraft was lifted off him. Must have been a nice though having all the petrol around and not being able to get out. Some balls that those double-O agents have

The tail wheel was lockable which is why it was important to 3-point it. If you 3-point it the 109 will go straight with no more rudder corrections needed than any other tail-dragger.

This is how you should land a 109 (same pilot as in the Berlin accident btw): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO9mEv5Ve54

Pay close attention to the rudder corrections.



Here's a perfect Spitfire landing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_3YuwerLCQ

Again look at the rudder corrections.


They are very similar despite the 109 having considerable crosswind and landing on rolling terrain.

Well you made your point and you made me cry are you happy?

[Die Hard]

Yes I am happy, but not because I made you cry. Why are you crying?

[glock89]

Hahah you fell for it.

Are you by any chance diagnosed with bipolar disorder?

Nope.

lol

lol

K so did we solve the 109 problems?

[Schlowy]

Theres a thing called a crosswind?
Was the wind coming from the left or the right side of the 109?

Hence, fo.

And btw, we been thru this, stronger engines on lighter planes tend to cause more need of rudder.
We have more rudder without more engine! Lufts knew not to jam the thottle back and forth.

Hence, fo anyways.
