TAKEOFF and LANDING tips--------------------

These are guidelines that may help you when 
taking off and landing in my Gmax f-86.



Takeoff:

1. Fully extend flaps (F8).

2. Activate parking brake and push 
   throttle to full power. 
   Hold brake for about 12 seconds 
   (to build up thrust).

3. Release brake, excellerate and 
   rotate at 120 knots. 

4. Raise gear and if your landing 
   lights are on make sure to 
   manually turn them off with 
   the Ctrl-L key.
   

5. Maintain a shallow ascent to build
   up speed. Only when you have reach 
   around 300 knots should you begin 
   your full climb at no greater then
   +35 degrees. 

-----------------------------------------------

(use .75% zoom when landing for best results.)

Landing:

1. Reduce speed to 230 knots with 
   speed brake (/).

2. Extend Flaps to full (F8) and 
   lower Gear (g). Manually turn 
   on landing lights with the 
   Ctrl-L key.
   

3. Approach runway around 200 knots.

4. Adjust speed with throttle and 
   speed brake to stay on glide slope.

5. Cut throttle and touchdown between 
   125-145 knots. Extend speed brake (/).

6. Then slowly lower the nose and apply
    brake at about 100 knots.
