Flying the Hurricane
Out of combat
Startup and taxi
- RPM 100%
- Throttle 10-15%
- Yaw trimmer strongly to the right (30-50% according to your preference)
- Begin engine startup sequence
- For taxiing, be aware that the tailwheel doesn't lock, and therefore the plane will need careful handling on the ground
Takeoff
- Open the radiators for the initial climb to altitude (20% in winter, 60% in summer)
- Smoothly throttle up to full power
- Takeoff speed is around 100-120mph
- Once airborne, reduce RPM and throttle until desired climb power is reached. Adjust the yaw trimmer until the slip indicator is centred.
Climb
- Pitch trim to achieve the desired attitude
- Keep an eye on your radiator temperature and adjust the radiator flaps if necessary
- Adjust the yaw trimmer until the slip indicator is centred
- Dont forget to shift your supercharger gear at 13'000ft
Cruise
- Pitch trim to achieve the desired attitude
- Keep an eye on your radiator temperature and adjust the radiator flaps if necessary
- Adjust the yaw trimmer until the slip indicator is centred
Landing
- Extend flaps below 120mph
- Landing speed is around 80mph
- After touchdown, let the plane roll for a little while before applying the brakes
