Dart Reverse Pitch

[DaveB]

Err.. yes, of course I did. How remiss of me not to mention it I don't think your Brit or CL44 naff off at speed on closed throttle with the parking brake off though. At least I don't think they do

No they don't

But best to used only two or they can build up speed quickly, just like the real ones

My Brit and Cl-44 both reverse from standstill as you've no doubt noticed Dave

LOL... one of my work acquantainces (a former Brit co-pilot) was once in a Brit that backed out of hangar under reverse as it was late 'off maintenance'

Ps Got the Andover in and out of St Bart's ok...

The CL-44 had to reverse sometimes to make the taxiway corners as the long wheelbase made the turns tight, the longer J was even worse.

There was a note in the PN about using the brakes to stop, to use forward thrust, as you could end up sitting on the tail . The model does that too ...so a freind tells me

[Motormouse]

Indeed Garry, 3 of the turboprop types I've got type ratings for will also sit on their tails if you use brakes in reverse!!
(and 2 of the jets will also sit on their tails if you use more than 25% N1 at below 5kts taxi speed... gotta be careful out there !)
