As I start my roll, I do give her a fair amount of right rudder. at least 1/2 way in. As she gains speed, and you get rudder authority, I gradually back off on the rudder input. Though at times, it feels like I'm doing a little shuffle on the rudder pedals to keep her straight, (once they have authority).Casca wrote:I've been taking off without crashing but but they're always ugly.
I think the k4 under modeled - It's alnost as if the air load passing the Rudder is missing until high speed. I use breaks to keep it straight 'tank steering' down the runway. Your thoughts?
Make sure your tail wheel is locked! And that you have the nose trim down (to max). Go to 1.35 ATA rather quickly, but keep the right rudder input for the initial roll out.
I read somewhere on DCS, that with the K-4, you gotta keep on top of her. And get out on the control input ahead of things.
Before I fly any MP mission, I've been taking her out for at least 3 or 4 touch and goes. Takes off are now solid, and I'm getting real good with the landings. The last 3 have been smooth as butter. Did I say I love this Module?
Keep on top of her, and don't get over confident. I did a couple times, thinking I got this down, and next thing you know, big trouble on the runway. Mount up, and stay on top of things.
