There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Usually if you're stalling out while trying to land, you're going too slow. Come in a little faster and see if that helps.
One trick I do is look at the stall speeds in the aircraft.cfg and touch down on the runway about 10 to 15 kts faster. You'll find these speeds in the reference speed section of the aircraft.cfg file.

Excellent advise, Willy. The F-89, with such a large wing area is an easy plane to land, almost NOT wanting to touch down on terra firma. Everyone's system is different tho. Especially on a cool humid day where the air density is so thick, you couldn't cut it with a sharp knife.
I have the Alpha F-89 Scorpion and I believe, along with the F-105 "Thud" it is one of Alpha's best. A superb model of a classic early jet in all aspects.
