macca22au Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Leaving Stavanger for Sandefjord Tor. Stavanger has evocations of WW11 that are still strong in my generation. And also the Norwegian resistance was thought of as very brave and committed far away downunder during those years. Over hard-rock glacier scraped high plateaux......check those engine temps again, please. Using Orbx Norway, which is a favourite I return to regularly.

In World War 11, ze Germans are featuring the dreaded, CO2-neutral, unicorn mounted rainbow cavalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Nice set Ian, you're probably getting to be quite the expert in the Q400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Yes Jack: it took me a devilish long time to learn to land it consistently. In the end I went back to my RW days of power and attitude; and using a little rudder to keep it straight on short final (Torque to me!) Mind you land too hard and you find that you have torn a wheel or blown a tire...that's how good the model is. Yet as it is STOL the landing has to be firm, but no bounce. Oh woe, you can see what it has been like to learn. Now that I have reasonable control, I find flying jets more than a little ho-hum. Yes Lars, and there are still some cavalry lurking on the runways, and unicorns run wild as they were released after the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 That plane is so long, you must really have to pay attention on 'rotate' otherwise you'll bang the tail. I have one for XP but it's not my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
