Skagging around in a '10
Posted: 05 Jun 2008, 13:15
Despite the quality of David's other models, I keep ending up in the VC10 - if I say so myself the hours spent mean I am totally at ease with it's flight envelope - I really should start with another model soon!
A little tomfoolery saw me with light fuel (10%) and a visit to Skagway.....
It's an interesting approach to say the least....
...and the runway is not best suited for biggies......
descending at VAT +15 here:
Hercs aren't the only RAF type that can make a steep appraoch.....VAT +25 here.....oops!
Engines idling as I bring about a flare - as I did so speed dropped - so a little throttle, and out with the spoilers so I don't skip off....
wings flex on touchdown......
Centre wheel down... good - I can nail the brakes and reversers for a stop just at the RW exit...
And so ends another Lunatical landing in the '10!
