Fokker won't climb

Postby RAAF_Tony » Tue Nov 16, 2004 3:12 am

I have recently downloaded the Southern Cross - the famous Fokker tri-motor in which Kingsford Smith was the first to fly  across the Pacific from the US to Australia.  I am trying to replicate his flight.  Once I get airborne I have a devil of a time gaining altitude....it keeps bleeding off airspeed and stalling.  Any suggestions???
