Hugh G. Rekshun - War is a terrible business. It’s not all fun and games like we see here on simulations. Most war veterans don’t talk about gung ho stories. I think he was just happy to stay alive and come home in one piece and live a normal life afterwards.
@@fredsalfa You're correct. I spent a week in hospital, a week before I went to University. The ward was full of old timers and most of them were talking about the war apart from one man. So, I went up to him and asked him if he was and he said "yes, I was at the vanguard which is why I don't talk about it. You wouldn't too if you saw what I saw". Then he went on to say "most of these guys never saw action on the front line". In my years, I've spoken to a lot of veterans and it's always the quiet ones which were in actual combat.
I know this is an old video, but thanks for making these all tutorials for the P-51. Takeoff was easy for me with the "Takeoff assistance" option turned on, but since removing this option, I have only been successful about 50-60% of the time. Are you using takeoff assistance? I am having trouble keeping the plane straight once the tail is lifted, I swerve left and right. I have been researching the aerodynamic factors causing roll and yaw on takeoff so I think I understand it, technically. I'm using a twist-stick, maybe I need to invest in rudder pedals. Thanks again.
That’s actually realistic, it’s called the left turning tendency of an airplane. Long story short because there is only one propeller spinning in one direction there are a bunch of different forces that turn u to the left. Practice using right rudder whenever you takeoff and climb to compensate for this. During cruise it usually isn’t a factor
It's this thing called p-factor. Basically torque from the engine wants to yaw the plane left. Its the same problem with helicopters. And anything that doesnt have counter rotating propellers.
P-factor which creates a yawing motion to the left and torque which creates a rolling motion to the left. Gyroscopic procession also yaws the airplane left when you raise the tail... Mustangs require a 6 degree rudder trim input to the right for takeoff as well as a lot of right rudder in general.
Great job! One thing, though. Your intro is awesome, but it's almost a minute long! I would suggest trimming it to at least 20 seconds to prevent people getting tired of it. The shorter the intro, the more likely it is for people to keep watching.
+wildmonkeycar ya i thought of that, ill change it if i really need to. but the purpose of this video is a tutorial. So if someone isn't willing to sit through 46 sec of intro. then you probably wont last through 10 mins of video. If i am strained for time or am making a much shorter video then ill trim it.
That is amazing. My dad was P51D Fighter pilot in WW2 and its fascinating to know that he would have known and learnt all this also.
That's cool man. Did he tell any good stories? Maybe a dogfight or two?

Thank you!!!
Nice tutorial. I usually uncage the artificial horizon before takeoff....especially in IMC.

Nice job :)
My plane keeps leaning to my left in take-off. Anyone knows what is happening? :[

Eh, it wasn't a big deal for me...i've seen much worse. If it comes to that, I can always hit that fast forward, too. Just a mouse click away.
