• 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.

Microprose B-17 Flying Fortress Released

Well...... That tail wheel is gonna come up (I don't know the mph off hand on when it usually comes up) but that tail will want to go flying, and you want it up because you lose a lot of rudder authority with the tail down. So you want the tail up because you want that rudder working to keep her going straight. I think soft ground and/or short takeoffs may call for the tail to stay down. (don't quote me on that I'm really not sure).
