Before There Was Air Force One

Post by Taka taka »

There was Columbine 2 and Columbine 3, Ike's Connies. :shock:
But I am sure you people already knew this.
Me? I'm new to the A2A Connie but as a kid I had a few friction motor versions. :wink:

By the way - this is one heckuva aircraft.
I had issues with getting it to load, and then my inputs were haywire - I could steer and watch the nose wheel move correspondingly to my inputs but the plane drove in circles. Yeah, twice it was two engines off :P but the other times it made no sense.

BUT when I got it to run as it should and inputs were a-okay, what a joy!
I left KLAX and very quickly got a positive rate of climb. Turned towards my heading and trimmed a bit. Where the Comanche takes 15 to 20 minutes to reach KONT, this took less than 10. :shock:
Trimming for touchdown was fun.

You guys did it again.
