They are a handfull when taxiing in a crosswind. I think it had a hard landing somewhere (Not with me though I always land rear first). Are there any good tri pacers for FS2002?

As an aside I remember one of our club members tipping his brand new Piper Colt (basically a 2-seat Tri-Pacer) on its nose. He was trying to run up the engine crosswind. Not a good idea. ::)

PS. Personally, I prefer taildraggers.

imagine a journey back in time with a 747.
you're standing in front of wilbur wright ,you show him the 747 and explain to him that those things will be common in the sky "just" 70 years after his historic flight. i'm sure he would get an immediate heart attack...;D

He'd probably ask if he could borrow an engine off of you.

Yes, Not a good Idea. I prefer taildraggers but am not rated for them yet.

Hey Chomp_Rock

What have you been flying for taildraggers?

Know you got some time in a Tri-Pacer....more than me!

If you feel like chatting about flying feel free to contact me on MSN chat....my address is on line.

Would love to talk to a fellow aviator on line who can enlighten me a little more about this system.

Happy Landings....Cheers...Doug
