[FONT=verdana, sans-serif] File Description:
The Gloster Gladiator Mk 2 was the last British biplane fighter, a development of the Gladiator Mk 1 with a 3 blade fixed pitch propeller. The Mark 2 had a 830 hp Bristol Mercury VIIIA engine. During the December of 1940 the R.H.A.F. (E.B.A.) received eight Mk 2 from Egypt based R.A.F. Squadrons and six Mk 2 from Greece based R.A.F. Squadrons. All these fighters armed the E.B.A.'s 21st Fighter Squadron and operated from Ioannina's airport.

Complete aircraft. The original model, created by Thicko Bielat and Morton (panel), features the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, spinning wheels and so on; navlights added by M.Villa. Two R.H.A.F. (E.B.A.) liveries. Completely new weathered textures by Manuele Villa. [/FONT]

Not a bad aircraft. But the contact points are all messed up.
...When going down the runway it gets the bouncies, causing an almost endless smoke cloud coming from the wheels.
Also when trying to turn anywhere on the ground, it won't turn even thought the tail wheel pivots.

Once in the air it's very stable. While using full flaps (both wings) in a mild head wind, it almost flies backwards.

Hello Claudius, very strange no bouncing for you. I do see the minor adjustment (3.36) you did. I'll give that a try and report results.
