Am i the only muppet who cant taxi the Blenheim onto the runway without either struggling to keep it straight or without managing to blow out its engines before take off... i know the engine water temp limit is roughly 250 but hell! you cant even taxi it to the runway... AI seems to have no problem... doesnt even have to wait for the engines to warm up...

Bug and a half i think?! :S

Comments welcomed!

Ross

P.S i use the trims too...

NO, its a muppet show Mr. Cermit.

I have the same problems too. Other aircraft are behaving well but the Blenheim is too hard for me. It likes the right side, maybe a Jerry plane?
So Ross you are not alone.

Use less power on the left engine until you are in the air, then trim trim trim!

It was difficult the first few times but with a little practice I can get it off the ground no problems every time (full realism).

Check the tailwheel.
It appears to be stuck.

Huh? But you said:

"Am i the only muppet who cant taxi the Blenheim onto the runway without either struggling to keep it straight or without managing to blow out its engines before take off"

If you can take off then you should be able to taxi easily enough, getting it moving from a standing start is the hardest part.
