• 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.

Wildcat landing gear.

Messing around with air ed.Noticed a section for landing gear cycles.Take it can make the process longer for the F4F? Handcranked gear and all, always felt the cycle is too short in F4F as it took 33 1/2 turns(if memory serves me correct) for each turn for gear to come up and down. Any ideas on the amount of time it took? Did FM2 still have manual gear or hydraulic?
 
You can crank them manually if you would like. Just make sure you have the keys assigned.

If you want to play with it, then look here in the aircraft.CFG...
