Default RE: Hanger 9 60 size ME109F- FINALLY!!!

I can't wait to see somebody else taxi theirs around.

The original killed a bunch of pilots. The gear problems are well documented.

It seems those problems increase when the sucker is operated off paved runways. Apparently they are worse off pavement. That didn't show up so much in WWII cause most fields back then weren't paved. And it was just worse, not impossible.

I love the airplane. Have had a couple of models of it. Not one had scale gear, but did have narrow track and they were a terror on the ground.
