The P5B in the PNA (Pavelanian Naval Aviation) 1940's carrier/naval training colors.
HOW TO PERFORM A "CARRIER" LANDING:
Drop flaps to full, press G to extend the landing gear, which also drops the tailhook, and keep prop pitch at max for max power. Keep your speed high on approa ach (between 110-90 MPH), don't fly too low, or too high, and right before touching down, reduce power, pull the stick aft all the way back, and at the same time press either AG-1, 2 or 3 to activate the drag chutes (as if you caught a wire in the trapping). If you landed safely, immediately discard the parachute by deactivating which ever parachute activation group you selected (either 1, 2 or 3.). Really hard to nail, but it's the closest I could get to simulating a real carrier trapping.
Enjoy!
G = Landing Gear/Tailhook
AG-1 = First Parachute set for carrier landings
AG-2 = Second Parachute set for carrier landings
AG-3 = Third Parachute set for carrier landings
AG-7 = Landing Lights
AG-8 = Nav, Beacon, Strobe Lights
VTOL Slider = Constant Speed Prop
Trim Slider = Flaps (Trim Slider Down for Extending Flaps, Vice Versa for retracting Flaps)

@JohnnyBoythePilot No problem. Just taking a look at all your other creations.
@Sunnyskies
Thanks for upvoting this old timer.
Thank you @Texasfam04!
@rubbishcraft
Thanks for the upvote!
Also, the P6 is already in development, and this time, it's going to be a fighter! Finally! Currently really early in development, but it's nimble and fast, will feature folding wings, again, a working tailhook, high detail, and a new feature, it will have working WEP! (War Emergency Power).
@JohnnyBoythePilot absolutely no problem mate!

Thank you guys!
Np! @JohnnyBoythePilot
@JohnnyBoythePilot I also use kkkkk
@randomusername
Thank you!
@EternalDarkness
Thanks! Pretty hard to nail on the USS Tiny, but a light-moderate headwind does help a bit.
@JohnnyBoythePilot no problem. Good job simulating carrier landing.

Obrigado! (Thank you!)

Thanks! One thing I love about this tailhook, is that when retracted, it actually stays glued to the fuselage, which I didn't expect it to do that.
@JohnnyBoythePilot You're welcome, bro
@JohnnyBoythePilot np! You plane is awesome! I really like the carrier hook design.
Also, seems like the tailhook doens't bend enough to allow the tailwheel to touch the ground and turn. To fix this, simply select the loose/floppy hinge at the middle of the tailhook, and set it's range to 60*.
Incrível !!!
