With new planes like the XP-86, I expect there are lots more people flying jets than before. I myself among them 
I wanted to start a thread to have a place to share what works, and what doesn't with flying what was at the time new technology that could prove unreliable :oops:
I've been doing loads of research on what doesn't work and doing a wonderful job I might add. I've also had some great flights using techniques via trial and error. I think it would be great to share what we have all discovered.
What I have discovered thus far
CON
- When in a dive, NEVER cut your throttle to zero or you will stall out your engine :oops:
- When using throttle, you might start the engine on fire if you keep it at full too long :oops:
- If you've had your engine cut out on you in flight, best to assess your E situation to see if you want to bail or if you can dead-stick and land somewhere :oops:
PRO
- When starting up, be sure to give your turbines time to wind up to max rpm. Set your breaks and run up to 30%, then 60% letting the engine catch up. Release breaks and get rolling, Throttle up slowly, set trim tabs to full up, and flaps for takeoff. You're up and off 8)
- I have found that keeping the throttle below 80% works, and use very conservative movement in the throttle generally 8)
- When landing, as soon as I have the plane on the ground level, I push the stick forward to reduce my rollout, then tap wheel breaks. This keeps me from overshooting the end of the runway 8)
Well that's just a few of what I had discovered. I am looking forward to see what others have discovered too
Cheers
