SOLVED: I can't get either Sopwith Strutter to bleed speed when landing

[TempestV]

I picked up FC4 last night and danged if the Strutter's are giving me fits with landing. They are so slick in the air. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong. I watched Youtube..even asked AI Copilot what was the landing speed ("45mph" 🙄). I just can't lose speed even with my throttle and mixture as low as it can go. Any tips. It's suppose to be a docile airplane to fly.

Found out Strutters's have an airbrake. Set a toggle command and landed it between 45-50 mph. Never flew it ROF.

Try air brake. I see you did - good 👍🏻

Also has a blip switch.🧐

And something odd I noted but confirmed per AI Copilot.... the mixture handle and throttle handle go in opposing directions🤪.
