RE: Need help with crosswind landings
Today, after reading this thread, I cranked a pretty hefty 10 o'clock crosswind into my G2 Sim. Didn't have much trouble with the planes with small fin and rudder. Then I called up the B17 with that humongous fin and rudder. The taxi out was a handful, the takeoff was scary, with full right rudder to maintain some semblance of a straight line. Then it was time to land, and the fun really began. The first attempt put it off the runway to the right; went around, and started final way to the left, finally getting a touchdown in the center of the runway, but before the tail finally came down, the plane was way over to the right. Good training! Glen
