gdotts Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Is the air brake just the landing gear lowering?? Even the Dauntless dive bombers had slats with holes for that. I have always been told to never lower gear over 250MPH.. Please advise
RichCotte Posted June 26 Posted June 26 (edited) Yes, the Corsair used it’s main gear struts and housing cover as a dive brake. Edited June 26 by RichCotte 3

Looks like if you left-click the gear handle to extend it goes to brake, and right-click it sets to gear down. The brake position only lowers the main gear. 2

Is the Brake-only extension assignable on the joystick...?
