RE: G4 Real Flight is great!
Thanks for your help, it was a great reply, I'm just disapointed that I can't hone my take off skills on the sim rather with the tips of my airplane wings. I'm new to this forum stuff, figured I'd find someone like you that could set me straight.

RE: G4 Real Flight is great!
Nope, don't have a problem with what if's. Anyone that doen't take the G4 to it's limits is missing out on a good time. I was just dissipointed that the realism of an actual tail dragger is not there. Try taking off with a Sopwith Camel sometime, or a Piper Cub, it gives a whole new meaning to a ground loop, I was just wondering if there was someone out there that could tell me if I was missing something with the G4 where I could find something to produce this effect.

RE: G4 Real Flight is great!
Not to start a heated conversation here, but as I read other messages it seems that this G4 is used more as a toy than to improve actual flying skills. Not that I'm into "toys" but when someone says they have a flight simulator I would expect one to produce actual simulation of a takeoff or landing. True there are many planes offered on the G4 menu, some are hot rods and others are slow flyers, but all of the planes in the same catorgary behave relative the same on the simulator. I could care what the color is or the "smoke" or streamers of the aircraft, not that it's a nice feature but in learning to fly I think the simulator falls short. But what do you want for $200.00 bucks, this is not NASA stuff. I don't think asking for touque issues on takeoff is asking too much, if I can produce a cross wind on the sim I wouldn't think torque would be an issue. Can anyone out there tell me if this is an option on the G4 for certain flight characteristics?

RE: G4 Real Flight is great!
Ok, here is the question. I agree Real Flight is cool but how do I get realistic flight characteristics from a specific airplane. We all know Piper Cubs love to ground loop on take off, I get no response from the simulator. Full throttle, the tail picks up and off we go, not in the real world of R/C flying. One of the reasons I bought the G4 was to practice on this problem. Other airplanes have slight characteristics unique to them selves, but I don't find this in the G4, am I asking for too much?

Ground Loop
Well, I've noticed that this subject has been covered before but there is conflicting suggestions on how to curb this "loop" process. As I watch some people at the field with WWII type aircraft it's full throttle and yank back on the stick, ya the airplane gets off the ground but not very realistic looking. Some contend that the tail has to lift add a little right rudder and your off and flying. Heck with the models being so over powered these days the tail just from the prop wash is flying before the ship travels it's own length. What actually produces this problem? Is it the touque from the engine, I thought this but I've tried to ease in with the throttle and the "loop" occurs. Do I ease the throttle, add down elevator and a little right rudder, I can't believe it's this difficult, I would perfer to shed the trike gear but I can't get the process down, I've bought a Hanger 9 Camel (which I hear is a handfull) but I'm frustrated with the "loop" and not wanting to give up.
