Hard hard time taking off woth fiftyone

[Stuge]

I fly WWII planes and helicopters with twist stick no problem! Of course, rudder pedals are better in some ways, but they are expensive yes.

 

I would recommend getting something else than Logitech if possible, but some good pilots fly with Logitech, so I guess it's not all bad.

 

I personally recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Sidewinder-Precision-2-Joystick/dp/B00005NIMA

 

I've sworn by it for over 15 years, always replacing a broken one with another. It has only a few flaws:

-Over years the center area will get a little wobbly, which may require slight increase in deadzone.

-Trigger button may break if used with passion for years.

-I've had one sudden axis failure over the course of 15+ years of daily use.

 

Why is it so much better than Logitech sticks? Larger movement angles, and not as stiff!

 

Too bad it's hard to find unused ones these days..

Here is a track for beginners having trouble taking off: Mustang takeoff in 2.0 without touching the rudder pedals. The right rudder deflection you see after I advance the throttle is not me pressing the right pedal, it is the propeller wash pushing against the deflected rudder trim tab and the tab itself is deflecting the rudder right. My feet never touched the rudder pedals the whole time. My point is, actually taking off with P-51 is easy, there is only a little correction required. The typical beginner mistake is overcontrolling the rudder, when in fact leaving it alone and the aircraft would almost go straight!
