Dave Perry has been working on some further improvements, which improve the drag characteristics, and I have made some small changes myself to the gear so that they are slightly more forgiving. The sum of these changes is available from http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/pittss1c.xml. I would suggest waiting until Dave has had a chance to comment on my gear changes before committing them. My taildragger experience being nil, the temptation is always to make it easier to handle! In fact, despite a good couple of hours practising only take-offs and landings, the number of times I've managed to take off successfully can be counted on one hand. Feel free to laugh that I've created an aircraft I can't actually fly :) Dave has been giving me some pointers on better tailwheel technique, which I will add to the help file in the near future. -Stuart ___________________________________________________________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint?
