I feel like the Corsair is much easier to takeoff than it should be. Ā Never flown a real one - if you have connections, contact me ASAP, like knock on my door if you have toĀ šŸ™‚Ā - but there are a few components of left turning tendency that seem to be missing perhaps. Ā When I gun the throttle very quickly, the Corsair seems to just go straight on the rails for me. Ā Yes, I have the rudder trim in, but at very little to no airspeed, the rudder isn’t doing anything. Ā 
Ā 

Left turning tendencies I’m not noticing too much:

P-factor when the tail is low, left wheel digs hard into ground, and slipstream hitting the fin from the left side. Ā Also as the tail lifts up early on with little airspeed, the gyroscopic force of that huge prop will want to torque the nose left.

Ā 

I usually have the habit to apply a little bit of throttle, let the airspeed build up and let the tail fin become effective, and then continue to push the throttle slowly to takeoff MP. Ā I was playing around with this earlier today, and even gunning the throttle doesn’t seem to affect my takeoff roll heading too much. Ā  Ā Once she’s up in the air though, everything feels really great. Ā 
Ā 

Just the takeoff roll feels a little unnatural, but I don’t know. Ā Never flown anything with that much HP IRL. Ā It’s minor, I don’t mind easy šŸ™‚Ā  Ā This is still my favorite module at the moment. Ā It’s really well done overall šŸ™‚


Maybe this was all done on purpose to make it a little more friendly in the sim. I can totally see people reporting bugs if they jammed the throttle full and the plane ended up in the grass each time. Ā If so, then I think M3 already found the correct balance and I’m happy with it Ā 

Great job on the module, again. Ā I’ve really been putting a lot of time on it šŸ™‚Ā 

Thanks
