When landing the B-1, no matter how softly I land the back wheels always collapse.

Is anyone else having this problem?
Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Angry every time I take off the rear landing gear never retracts. Blade claims it to be a corrupted and defective download. Delete it off your computer and try to download it again!
 

Its only in your mind, strong mind, strong soul and nobody can take that from you!

How much fuel are you landing with?

I tried a take-off with full fuel load and the wings swept fully forward (obviously the wrong configuration) and 200 yards down the runway, the aircraft was doing an impression of a space shuttle (nose vertical before I'd reached 70 knots).

This leads me to believe that the fuel load is heavily emphasised at the rear in the model, meaning a lot of the weight will be on the rear undercarriage at heavy fuel loads.

Whether this is true of the real B1 I couldn't say. Made for an interesting spectacle at the time though. Smiley
