changed the smooth braking setting and now I can land

cant land her. well I should say I can land just not stop. Flips every time even with excess up trim and pulling back all the way after touchdown.

i remember the old sopwith camel flight model the glide was so high I had trouble setting it down on the runway. This thing as you said drops like a brick. Let me play with the propeller setting this time.edit** wow! big difference with propeller all the way back to 0%. Good call on that one. Guess my inexperience is really showing now. I landed but still flipped by not pulling back enough on touchdown like you said. thanks.

wow great discussion guys. Im not claiming to be an expert as I mentioned in OP. In detail I must say that after diving the plane, lets just say within the flight envelope, and no thrust being generated the glide is so horrible you cant even flare hardly for landing. dont take my word for it...try it yourself.just tried again with engine off and landing is a no go lol

anybody take the stearmen up for a spin and dive the hell out of it and then see how bad they model inertia of the plane? This is with the engine off or at idle. If you dive the thing and get airspeed and then try to pull the nose up it doesnt feel like it should with that much speed. Maybe Im wrong....just an armchair pilot and never flew a real biplane.
