Notes to Pilots
| Ctrl-l | toggle Tailwheel Lock |
Takeoff
- Flaps down 10 degrees.
- Apply 100% Engine RPM While accelerating raise the tail.
- Be prepared to use Rudder to counteract Swing.
Climb and cruise
- The plane picks up speed fast so be sure to raise Flaps below 80 kts.
- The best climb speed is 80-90 kts.
- Cruise Power is at 90% Engine RPM.
Landing
- Lower Flaps under 80 kts and set Prop to Max RPM.
- Approach Speed is 60-70 kts.
- Approach the threshold with 60 kts.
- Don't reduce power too early as the idle prop acts as effective speed brake.
