Some E-7 Questions

[indiaciki]

In comparison to 109 F / G

 

1. figured TO to be a lot easier without flaps

 

2. Final at 200 km/h as oppsed to 180 km/h (F)

 

3. Touchdown will occur at 150 km/h (same)

 

4. seems to have more drag or way lighter than the F - bleeding speed much faster

 

5. Tendecy to Ground loop at TO - might be the dirt RWY

 

6. slats have less impact at low speeds

 

7. less tendency to tun left after TO

 

Did anybody else notice?

forgot that one: she'll nose over much easier than the F & G

Definately didn't notice worse bleeding of energy. I think she keeps energy very nicely.

Especially this! Maybe it's just me, but after flying the E-7 for a couple of weeks i found the F4 and G2 to be extremely annoying on this part.

She bleed far less energy if you use the stabilizer to turn.

 

Except for her speed, she is almost the perfect plane, as she does everything on par or better than her opponent.

 

And as long as yak pilot rely on flaps and horizontal turn to escape.... E7 will win any 1v1 engagement at equal energy level.

I'm still bouncing on landing and damaging the prop, I'm really rubbish at landing these aircraft, but love the sim

[indiaciki]

just fly patterns - 4-6 times in a row. Don't brake to soon. She'll nose over. If you brake you'll have to do it like driving on ice. break and release immidiately. maybe you don't gradually pull the stick before touchdown? or you're flaring too high and stall during flare?
