I brought out the P51 and Habu micro jet. I wanted to try using the flaps to take off and land on the P51 and just fly the Habu around some. Well I had way too much elevator mixed in with the flaps and as soon as the tail lifted off, the plane nosed over and the prop hit the ground! I lowered the elevator mix and tried again a few more times, but still found it way easier to land without using flaps? For the rest of the session I didn't use the flaps, as with the wind it was really difficult to hold a steady descent. Maybe I'll try it again next time, but after the wind dies down?
I also need to add some down elevator trim on both the P51 and Habu. Flying into the wind I need to hold down elevator on both to just maintain a level flight path. Also, the controls are way to sensitive on the Habu out of beginner mode. I need to adjust the expo and use low rates to make it easier to fly.
Oh ya! I finally did a barrel roll in real life with the P51! I’ve been doing them in the sim forever, but was always chicken to try it for real since its usually windy when I fly in the afternoon. I got some extra altitude and rolled all the way around! 😎I think I did it like 4 times? One time I lost orientation after exiting the roll and heading back into the wind. Then the plane did something I wasn’t expecting and dove towards the ground! I think I might have rolled too far and went inverted when I was thinking it should be upright! Luckily I kept rolling and pulling up until the plane went back up into the air then I got it back under control Whew!
