    On final approach flaps should be full down.

    From manual:

    Landing Procedure

    Perform the following steps when preparing to land:

    • Slow down to 170 mph before lowering the landing gear.
    • When lowering the landing gear, make sure the control handle is DOWN and locked. Check the landing gear indicator lights. Be sure the hydraulic pressure returns to 100 PSI. Be prepared for the aircraft to feel nose-heavy when the gear is down. Adjust the pitch trim to compensate.
    • Maintain approximately 150 IAS in the traffic pattern.
    • Lower the flaps when turning on final approach and the airspeed is below 165 IAS.
    • Once lined up on final and with the flaps lowered, maintain approximately 112-120 IAS.
    • When sure of a correct landing approach, close the throttle.
    • Just before getting to the runway, break the glide with a controlled flare and approach so as to land within the first third of the runway, in a 3-point attitude.

    Hold the aircraft in the 3-point attitude just above the runway until flying speed is lost and the plane sets down at approximately 90 mph.

    The tail wheel is locked when the stick is neutral or aft, so steering is limited after touchdown. Keep the stick held back until enough speed is lost and you are ready to turn off the runway and taxi.

    Never attempt to push the stick forward and unlock the tail wheel in a turn when taxiing. Release the tail wheel before starting the turn.

    Bought same Joystick less then month ago because my old Cougar become too jerky. It works from start and I think it's a good stick for 50 bucks.

     

    Hi

     

    Not sure that this is the correct place to ask but I'm playing Flight using the mouse.

    I ordered a Thrustmaster T-Flight Stick X Flight Stick from Amazon.

     

    When it arrived it didn't work on my computer.

    I plugged it into 3 computers mine, running Windows 8, my wife's running Windows 7 and another computer running Windows 7 all 64 bit.

     

    It was detected i.e. "A device detected." but wouldn't show any place in control panel or in any game on all of the computers (no interface to adjust etc).

    I returned the it, now I'm looking for an option.

     

    I don't want to spend a lot of money but I'm will to go $50 or so.

     

    ​What would users recommend?

     

    Mike
