I understand the principles of power controls pitch and pitch controls airspeed. What I was trying to do is explain it simple terms. When you push the stick forward the plane will accelerate regardless unless you reduce throttle. Since most inexperienced sim pilots will do this to descend instead of reducing power...
Ok, I'm getting the feel for landing this beast, and TRIM is most important. But, I found that I must commit totally to the landing. IF the landing isnt just right, there is no bolter at 95mph.. At least that is what I have found.
The question I had was.. After an unsuccessful practice landing on a dirt field on Iwo, the plane did a spin out and kept spinning, and kept spinning and spinning. I had to stop the mission as there was no ReFly option at that point. Is this anomoly caused by the fact it was not a 'flyable' a/c to begin with?
I have a track but was not sure how to post it.
To begin, you should be able to do an aborted landing in a TBM. Perhaps your settings? Pull flaps one notch up? What I think it is you're aiming too far down the deck. Try touching down closer astern instead so if you miss a wire then you will have sufficient running to accelerate to flying speed.
I have had similar problems with four engine aircraft at land bases when landing damaged. The spin stops only after an extended period. Bug maybe?
Aboard ship, I have found that 65% power is all you will need to get off. I use 100% prop pitch for takeoff, but when coming back aboard I use 75% pitch. This cuts down allot on the torque reaction to the cut. Also, you will find that if you use any more than neutral elevator trim, the stall/spin accidents are much more prevelant. I also use a BUNCH of right aileron trim, which I take out as speed increases. The rudder trim and elevator trim doesn't need to be changed much at all.
I always aim at the first few wires, especially in this bird.. ya might stretch that last wire all the way off the deck..LOL
I'll try reducing pitch a little.. that makes sense to tone down the torque at low airspeed. That would help a lot.
Thanks
Yes as I found out today hiting the last wire is not the best Idea
Trust Me
~S~ It could be that you are setting up too far out on final approach. On downwind...base leg...
and finale never loose sight of the fantail of the ship. Don't d r a g it in...stay close.
