Take off and tailwheel lock?

[jollyjack]

Hi. programming a Streamdeck XL for tailwheel lock.

Latter is present in the keybinds, but which planes do NOT obey?

Focke Wulf 190 all, Hs129b2 it seems, only works by pulling back the stick.

Just curious if there's a list somewhere.

Hello,

May be this helps :

Thanks. I tried opening it in Libre Office (don't have MS-office) but i cannot find 'default' there. Must get my head around it LoL

Basically i am a spreadsheet dumbo as well.

Hello,

Best is to work on line. In Libre Office  you will lose functionality.

Use the different filters and then download the results. I do not have Excel neither.

 

One thing I do is to apply my filters (exemple only defaut commands) then I download the file in ".csv" format, open it in open   libre office and you can find information you need (a"0" in a cell  means that the command is available for the plane). Example attached. You can then save in .ods format if you want.

 

Have fun

The 190 does have a tailwheel lock, but it is actionable by pulling the stick back, not through a keybind

And make sure you take off in a 3 point attitude with the 190...

What?! Don’t think so…keep the stick back until you’ve got enough speed for rudder control then get the tail up and accelerate in a more-or-less level attitude.

Yes I do think so... the 190 takes off in a 3 point attitude. Accelerate to 100 kph with the tail wheel locked, then allow the stick to neutral position, then at around 180 kph it will rotate in a 3 point attitude...

3 point attitude? think the tailwheel lifts up long before 180 and the plane is stable then ..

You do what you want mate... I'm taking off the way it is supposed to take off... it will fly itself off the ground in a 3 point attitude.

Must admit, I'm the same. I can't wait to get that tail wheel up and get some ground control 😉

You get ground control when the rudder becomes more effective on reaching 100 Kph... after that as you move the stick gently to neutral, the tail wheel will rise a little, but the 190 will still remain in a 3 point attitude and will rotate itself when your speed reaches 180-190 Kph... that is the correct take off procedure... give it a go, try it out, it's not difficult, and it reduces the risk of prop strike!

You described what I do to the letter, but I wouldn't have described it as a 3 point attitude. I tend to think of that as 3 points of contact ie. all 3 wheels on Terra firma. I understand what you mean though, slightly nose high attitude
