Jack Sawyer Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The final flight of my Beaver as it's been giving me fits. My tolerance for problems with planes is like a nano-second long so in the bin with yet another plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chunk. Now I can't remember but something wasn't working despite reloading it. So I said to heck with it, it's not worth my trouble and time trying to figure it out.

VH-KDK Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 A wonderful set Jack but sorry to hear about the troubles. I take my trusty old Beaver out every now and again, one of the very first add on planes I brought. I have purchased a couple more since then.

Thanks Lars, yeah, I want to focus on the big jets and A2A's stuff for a while. Besides, I'm terrible with taildraggers. Imagine a 777 tail dragger?

Jack Sawyer Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Just now, Captain Lars said: I confess that I hate the tail dragging principle. Well, it was the evolution of the tricycle gear and it's still better than the sled type that the Wright Brothers used. But you're right, it's just not my cup of tea, I was born too late for that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Is it the Milviz? I find I have to ease the throttle in & be quick on the rudder, can't slam the throttle as if you are in a C7 Also, you need to open up the carb heat, otherwise it spits sparks. What is the particular problem you are having? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
