Tonight I decided I would have a go with some of the Naval aircraft in the BoB mod.

I first set up a test flight so I could get the feel of the Fulmar.

I had the devils own job getting the thing off the ground, then it climbed like a slug. I hit flaps twice before take off but seemed so reluctant to fly.

Any ideas what I did wrong? Can't see that poor old bird taking off from a carrier!

Incidentally when I flew in Dogfight it seemed fine. In fact my wingman and myself shot down a JU88 over Lee-on-Solent.
 
At neutral settings sitting on the ground it's very nose heavy and needs 40-45% elevator trim for the initial climb out.

Once you're up to speed and get some altitude under you, then you can start dialing it back down again.
