HouseHobbit 2 Posted July 18, 2012 Hi all, I have been having trouble landing the aircraft in OFF.. I come in level, slowly reducing altitude and speed.. Keeping the nose slightly up.. and when I hit the ground, BANG!! Hobbit pieces everywhere!! Any advice on How to land these canvas and wire things would be Most welcomed.. OFF to wreck more OFF..

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted July 19, 2012 . HH, you're coming in too level. You want the rudder to touch first, then the top wing. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted July 29, 2012 . I don't know guys, polka dots on DR1 could work. And Olham, I seem to recall we painted a pink Alb for you quite some time ago, complete with a cup of tea emblazoned on the side of it. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted July 29, 2012 . Yes, I just think of the tactical advantage that will give you in a dogfight when your opponent is busy trying to clean off the inside of his windscreen. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted July 29, 2012 And Olham, I seem to recall we painted a pink Alb for you quite some time ago... The Bordeauxred Baron: "Yes, you say quite rightly: YOU painted my Albatros pink! (Gasp!) Now, we Germans are very liberal about colourful fighter planes; everyone knows that! But pink Polka dots on purple aircraft can only originate from a Hobbit mind! In my Staffel, I would threaten the guys with execution for the case anyone would commit such forms of war crimes! Pink aircraft! (Barf! Vomit!! Thud!!!)" Unteroffizier Meyer: "Sani! Sanitäter!!
