Default looking great!

I'm having problems landing the Cub, keep 'groundlooping'...short stopping distance though Cheesy

Be carefull with the brakes,don't hold them,just use them every 2 seconds or so,it has a short stopping distance even withouth brakes anyway. Wink

You shouldn't need brakes when landing the Piper Cub. I think you chaps need to take a taildragger course. Wink

Wouldn't it depend on where you are landing?
Since on REALY short runways I think it would be better to use some brakes. Grin

The brakes on the Cub are mainly for parking & to help with steering while taxiing. If you do a proper three-point landing it should land on a sixpence. http://coyjay.hubpages.com/hub/Learning-to-Fly-in-a-Piper-J-3-Cub

WWI taildraggers like the Fokker Triplane weren't fitted with brakes.

It's not difficult when you know how. You youngsters rely too much on brakes. Tongue

Taildraggers with no brakes usually have a tailskid which acts as a brake when the tail is on the ground. They were intended to operate from all-grass airfields & take off/land directly into wind.

I can land fine on FSX with no brakes & actually disable them on WW1 aircaft, but when it comes to Rise of Flight it would take me a month of Sundays to do a good landing in the Dr.1
(It realistically models the rotary engine & normally I come back with bullet holes in my control surfaces Wink

)
