How the hell did I do this?

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

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.

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.

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
