In Birds of Prey it is the complete oposite, Crazy. You can brake hard as you like as soon as you land even at high speed without nosing over into a cartwheel. This is like being able to drink a cup of tea while doing an emergence stop in your car without any spillage - Imposible. Then once you should be completely safe at only 30mph with no sudden loss of momentum, the plane gains a mysterious and invisible extra force that tips it up. This is compareable to being thrown though the windscreen of your car after dropping below 30mph to take a corner. Its just wrong physics.
Well said Pope.
This has to be a bug.
Even when the Spit just rolls from 65 kmph without out any contols touched, it tips over. No brakes, no flaps, no rudder, no throttle no NOTHING.
Just idling straightforward with NO influence, just tips over at 54 kmph
