Flying Irons Spitfire IX - Overnight Update (3/28)

[SH427]

I'm not sure how to relay my experiences with bringing the aircraft to a stop well enough, but I know that having the bicycle brake lever on the stick helps a lot, you can kind of squeeeeeeze the lever and use the rudder to hold the aircraft steady as you start to slow down, and let the differential brakes do their thing.
For a standard home setup with rudder pedals I think our feet can overdo it from time to time.

I have the same. Takeoff is never a problem and when the tail is up directional control with rudder is easy. The last phase of the rollout is very different compared to the previous flight model and the aircraft ground loops almost every time when at walking pace. I have tail down with full elevator. Perhaps some power to keep an airflow over the tail?

I am suffering the same - I'd say 7 out of 10 landings end up in an immediate ground loop. I like a challenge but this seems way too tricky for me. I've watched quite a few Spitfire "from the cockpit" landing videos now and it all seems very calm! Going back to fast jets for a while to get some respite!
