Boeing P-26 Peashooter

45.6k Sgtk  7.9 years ago

The Wiki: The Boeing P-26 "Peashooter" was the first American all-metal production fighter aircraft and the first pursuit monoplane to enter squadron service with the United States Army Air Corps. She looks pretty, but is a little tricky to get off the ground. Start with flaps all the way down, and trim all the way up. Throttle to 45%-50% and pull back on the stick. Needs a little rudder to stay straight, but once airborne you can retract flaps, throttle up to full and adjust trim for... r level flight. Nimble little bird once she's up. Armed with a .50 and a .30 in the nose. Let me know if you have feedback for improvement. Thank you for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!   read more
