lxsapper Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Just a dead stick I was forced to perform, turns out the Cat isn't so bad at gliding. Thought people here might like to see it. And please don't judge me too much... :cry: :D
RustBelt Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Yea I had to find that out over the sandbox when the darn Ground Crew didn't actually refuel me. Got to about 35,000 and 20 or so miles away then lights out. Glided all the way back with ease.
Sandman1330 Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 The key is to zoom climb to get your airspeed down before you lose all power, otherwise you will get stuck with your wings swept back. She doesn’t glide so well with wings back! But it does glide well with wings forward, for sure.
