    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

I was reading a USAF training manual from 1968 which was written in a pretty conversational manner and found it very useful.
The section on landing the C-47 made the point that if you are used to aircraft with a nose wheel then you tend to pull back on the yoke after touchdown when it is better to push forward.
I decided to give this a go and it is far and away the best technique I have tried.

I think of it as aero braking like you see on the F-16 except in reverse.
I keep adding forward yoke as the aircraft slows down. As I begin to run out of elevator I let the tail lower to the ground when I have the aircraft pointed down the center line.
If I don't have it perfectly centered when the tail wheel touches then I am ready with the tail wheel unlock (shift +G), by then the aircraft is slow enough to respond to rudder without any dramatic swings.
In general I find landings with this technique far more controllable with none of that frantic control inputs I tended to do with other methods. The key is being slower when the tail wheel touches down

Just downloaded and re-installed the livery pack, and the Transamazonica livery still has the blank white Garmin screens. May I ask if it's going to be fixed ?
