I use orientation a lot with twist... so in the video you will see, that I notice the nose of the aircraft going right, to me that's the Que to ease up on rudder slowly until lift-off. The video shows the cockpit view and the external view of the take-off. I did it that way on purpose so I could see both aspects, as well as others if they require it. It's not an instructional video, just more for my own purposes but if someone can get something out of it, then all the better. Here's the video:

I experienced the same speed in a mild to moderate turning dive at speed in excess of 500-600km/h. Not sure about COG problem, not sure what it looks like or feels like yet to be able to point it out.

I'm uploading my take-off video... it's not perfect I know, but it's better than the alternative.... winging over and crashing :D I also don't have rudder pedals, using twist joystick for rudder... For me it seems easier to use than the idea of using my feet. I know not realistic, but using my feet knowing I have a lead foot I think would be worse for me than using twist.

Here is my first 1v1 dogfight against AI P51. Ya I know not as good as some people, but I'm still trying to learn how hard I can push the 109 to find out where it's limits are. Am I the only person who does 60fps videos? Every game I play it seems I'm the only one utilizing them... :(

I used +2, and it made a huge difference on take off for me. Little to no wing stall then. But, I used the technique I saw in a video from some other player.... full right back stick with 70% right rudder, and slowly let off the ailerons and elevator to 0 stick position at 100km/h. Still had to maintain a good rudder authority, but no left roll stall this time was easy getting off the ground with control.

Ya I noticed in level flight I have to set fletners to +2 in order to fly level... otherwise it pitches hard up. Gonna try a take-off with it set to +2 maybe it won't wing stall so hard on lift-off.

Ty.

I realize the terminology may make sense to some people, but in the keybinds where exactly do I bind a key/button to raise and lower landing gear? What is the toggle called in the keybinds list? I've flown the D9, and the keybind there is pretty straight forward. "Landing Gear" Any help appreciated.

Well, I finally took off the first time in the K4. Man this thing rolls left hard on take off. Many a broken wing, before I figured it out to a nasty extent. Would this be an accelerated wing stall by chance, or torque roll on take off?

Thank you.

Thumper, what did you change your FOV to; So I have a basis to start from And do we just delete the min and max value and set a single value to actually change it?

Also, again sorry for the newb question: I'm not as familiar with the K4 as the D9; For example the D9 has a gear up/down toggle; I do not see this same toggle on the K4; What is the name of the toggle I should be using to raise and lower the landing gear on the K4? I suspect it's one of the undercarriage binds; Is there really like 4 binds I have to use to raise and lower the landing gear on the K4?

So it's the same trim wheel that we change between -6 to +2 then? Wasn't sure, I figured there was a separate control for it.

Are Fletner tabs modeled on the K4? And if so, where exactly are they located in the cockpit? You can guess why I'm asking lol. Got into a dive situation when trying to learn to fly the K4, noticed major control stiffening, was scrambling to find the Fletner tabs, but alas; The ground had other ideas. The D9 is easier to fly and take off; Still trying to teach myself how to take off in the K4; But flying it seems pretty straight forward; soon as I figure out where the Fletner Tabs are. That being said have a second question: The D9 dive characteristics compared to the K4; The D9 seems to handle pretty easily at high speed dives as I would expect; I recall one account at 700km/h pulled out without much trouble at all. The K4 on the other hand at 600 seems to lock up tighter than a catholic school girl. Would the D9 suffer from control stiffening to the same degree and at what speed would that actually occur?
