B-1

[tag86]

When landing the B-1, no matter how softly I land the back wheels always collapse.

Is anyone else having this problem?
Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

every time I take off the rear landing gear never retracts. Blade claims it to be a corrupted and defective download. Delete it off your computer and try to download it again!

How much fuel are you landing with?

I tried a take-off with full fuel load and the wings swept fully forward (obviously the wrong configuration) and 200 yards down the runway, the aircraft was doing an impression of a space shuttle (nose vertical before I'd reached 70 knots).

This leads me to believe that the fuel load is heavily emphasised at the rear in the model, meaning a lot of the weight will be on the rear undercarriage at heavy fuel loads.

Whether this is true of the real B1 I couldn't say. Made for an interesting spectacle at the time though.
