Re: MacRobertson Air Race Anniversary...
Not sure if it works in MSFS because made for FS9/2004, but I uploaded G-ACTM the Miles M3 Falcon prototype to the SOH Library complete with long range tank. I know it didn't get there in time because it took too long to send a replacement prop to India! But H L Brooks did create a record on his ret...

I wonder how a US pilot's helmet would fare - they are (or were) a lot lighter construction bu...

Re: One Lucky Pilot.
There was one a long time ago at Llanbedr which left the MDC (Miniature Detonating Cord)wrapped around the pilots head, so very tricky to make sure its not triggered when opening the canopy. The initiators are on the RH side IIRC alongside the hinges. I should think its just a canopy change after t...

Re: DH Rapide braking and nosing over
Interesting to read a flight report in Pilot magazine -(just google that) No 3 pointers! Dragonfly similar but it runs out of rudder authority if one attempts a 3 pointer Mossie also & very well shown with the French 3/4 scale mossie crash!

Re: DH Rapide braking and nosing over
I have found a lot of taildraggers will nose over & wonder if the dimensions of the main wheel contact points should be amended by the angle of tail down, seeing as M$ aircraft .cfg info only designed for trikes. i.e. when making the model one has the fuselage datum horizontal, if you rotate the...
