Handley Page flight problems


Recommended Posts

Handley Page Bomber will not stay in the air. Even when autopilot is selected. The only way I can get it to stay in the air is to drop all the bombs just after lift off. I just purchased this Aircraft. Seems to be woefully underpowered  Any advice on how to fly this plane would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Set your fuel load for the mission at hand. (Don't carry full load)

For H.P 0/400 climing speed very VERY slow around 55mph climbing at very shallow angle. It is take so long to climb but this normal. After takeoff must fly level to gaining speed then begin shallow climb.
 

Here is from Rise of Flight page for H.P. 0/400:

Climb rate, full fuel load, without bombload
             1000 m — 7 min. 42 sec.

2000 m —

18 min. 54 sec.
3000 m — 43 min. 14 sec.
Climb speed, full fuel load, 16x122 lb bombload
     1000 m— 13 min. 51 sec.
2000 m— 47 min. 54 sec.
Speed, full fuel load, w/o bombload(IAS: km/h)
      sea level — 156.3
1000 m — 146.3
2000 m — 135.2
3000 m — 121.3
