Regarding not having pedals

[shonist]

Hi everyone!

im struggling at the shop cart with my credit card pointing to the screen since the christmas deals started.

im willing to get this F86F but im afraid i cannot fly it decently because i dont have rudder pedals...

what do you think pilots? could i get away with my twist stick or crashes and frustration awaits me?:joystick:

It's a single engine jet, so it almost doesn't really need rudder at all in flight.

 

Rudder input is needed during taxiing, though - nosewheel steering mechanism uses pedals, but twist stick should be enough for that function.

Art-J is right. Rudders are not really important for the Sabre, unlike for Helos or WW2 prop planes which can't really be flown without rudder pedals.

You can go without pedals in planes, some hotas also has an small slider tu use if you don't have. If you can use keyboard to map it its okay... pedals are not mandatory unless you''re in a chopper, in choppers are a must

I've used a twisty stick since forever - you'll be fine.

I use the mini joystick on my CH throttle for rudder on helos and props.
