Landing the BF-109

[Splitter]

Thanks, Dutch and everyone else, that really does help (you are using Track IR, yes?). I would take that landing all the time even with the wing dip lol.

My lessons learned so far are;
Steeper glide slope.
Pull up before threshold to level out and hold it.
Keep a little more speed.
Stay easy on the throttle.
A main gear landing is fine.

Very interesting observation on the right wing dip when chopping throttle. I was landing a 109 a bit fast with a heavily damaged left wing earlier today. I was just a few feet off the runway. Just the instant before (or at the same moment) I chopped throttle, the left wing started to stall inducing a quick left roll, I was already at full right aileron to keep it level at landing speed. Chopping the throttle seemed to roll it back to the right just enough and I ended up touching down a just a bit hard on the left wheel and bouncing a bit. This all happened very quickly and I think chopping the throttle might have prevented me from dragging that left wingtip in the dirt. It's not like I meant for it to work out that way though lol. Pure dumb luck.

So I did a quick circuit and did this by feel.
We start on the downwind leg. You'll notice the starboard wing drop as I cut the throttle, which was a bit worrying! Also that I bung it up to nearly 50% throttle to gain a bit of altitude.
If you go to the actual youtube site you'll see the instruments and on screen flap n throttle settings better.
Hope it helps!
