tail wheel lock

Featured Replies

Hi,Maybe I have misunderstanding about tail wheel lock.Here is the picture which my DC-3's tail wheel is unlocked --- It IS unlocked, right? (tail wheel unlocked.jpg)Then, at that moment, my tail wheel lock is pushed in, which is like throttle.jpg.But this seems to be contrary to the manual, r4d_man.pdf, p.31. The manual's picture says the pushed in position means "locked". Did I make something worng?I used key command (F11,12) to control and did not use aircraft.cfgES file.Thanks.TCC0928

Thanks. Um...how about this one? locked or unlocked? This is NOT the situation which I took a shot of my DC-3.

In is locked, out is unlocked. No idea why yours appears backwards.Does the wheel lock when the handle is out?
