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

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.  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.

 

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.  I was playing around with this earlier today, and even gunning the throttle doesn’t seem to affect my takeoff roll heading too much.    Once she’s up in the air though, everything feels really great.  
 

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


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.  If so, then I think M3 already found the correct balance and I’m happy with it  

Great job on the module, again.  I’ve really been putting a lot of time on it 🙂 

Thanks
