This is my rough replica of the F4U Corsair. I have featured custom landing gear, custom elevators and rudder, six rockets and four machine guns. To take off, max throttle and wait till rear wheel lifts off of the ground. Then gently pull up, retract gear and commence flight. To land, throttle 40% and level with the runway about 5 feet off the ground. Don't worry about how much runway is left because once you touch the ground, you slow down very quickly. Gradually decrease throttle and touch down. Once you have touched down, immediately kill throttle and brake. If front end starts to dip, let off the brake until the rear wheel touches the ground again. Repeat this process until you come to a stop.
