here is one nice short poem, maybe you’ll like it too…
Nice film Jojko:)
And it was made by one of our very own EAF602_Joe 90;)

well, I’m not surprised at all, who else could make such a nice video if not an EAF pilot 
Here I found some nice tutorial video about Boom and zoom tactics…well, it works well against Albatros, but try it on Fokker D.VII

Requiem is very good at making these training films. I like what he does. Many of these films are relevant to IL2 also. I have used them as prerequisite study before training. Very useful!
Yes, and here I found one example how not to fight…you can see lots of bad moves on the both sides (that’s nice on human vs human dogfights because you can see the errors that AI would never do)…good to watch and pick some errors…I could see most of errors on Camel, lots of good firing positions and not firing, I don’t know why, and also not enought skills with a type, because of stall he made…It’s the same when I’m flying the Camel, it’s so stally… what do you think?

Requiem’s tutorials are invaluable to the new RoF pilot. Especially on Camel stalls.
Once the stall is mastered it can be used as a defensive tactic in a dogfight.
A few months ago I was getting ready to begin my ROF career, but then IL2 started up and we got a lot of new recruits. So there hasn’t been time these past months. I will make an effort to get into ROF again very soon. I do think it’s a fantastic sim and want to be good at it. I’ll come fly with you soon Jojko. I really like the Pup. I’m not a huge fan of the Camel because of its vicious spin. But I will try to master it. That will be my goal.
Same for me, Camel is such a challenge. I always have problems to land that beast, whet it starts bumping and I can’t put it down, only when the speed is too low it will stall and strike the ground with a wing and it’s done…It’s always 50/50 landing and crash…but now, I have my new joystick with feedback, maybe I will feel it more, just didn’t have much time to try it yet…
Something that works well is once you land pull hard back on the stick to force the weight to the Tail in will slow down the plane faster and make it more manageable from bouncing.
With the Camel, bring her in at a shallow angle, when she touches down, keep he tail up for a little bit, she will drop it when ready. To stop the ground loop, burst the throttle when she starts to misbehave. The main reason is the lack of rudder in the old aircraft and at low speeds it becomes ineffective, you have to give the throttle a good burst and then back off again, to allow for rudder authority.
Osprey, I can’t imagine how can I pull the tail back because even if I’m moving 20mph, there is still enought lift to take me up, and than I stall…I tried lots of styles, some worked, some didn’t…But even if I try to repeat the good procedure, I would not promise it will be safe :rolleyes:
Osprey is correct. Once you are down don’t cut the throttle. Keep blipping the engine to maintain momentum and slowly come to a halt.
Even though you don’t have brakes, pulling the stick back and digging in the tail skid will slow you down.
The real skill in getting the camel down is in the approach.
If you want to run some practice touch and goes, let me know.
Sure I would love to learn something, but my official T/O will be jealous on you 
just tell me time and I will be ready
I’m off work today and free until 12:00 GMT
These kind of aircraft you dont stop flying until they are chocked and tied down.
You’re better off letting the tail skid drop on its own…any sort of speed and she’ll jump back into the air when you pull back on the stick and then yer screwed…I should know, I wrote off a shit load of Camel’s when I first got into it
Once speed starts dropping off and the needle has gone below 40 you can start to think about pulling back on the stick to dig in the tail skid, whilst keeping at least half throttle on and blipping the engine. You’ll soon pull up in a straight line and be able to taxi back to the hangars.
My preference is to fly over the drome at a 1000ft. Decide on the best approach (in to the wind) once the approach is decided I join a circuit of the field. Running parallel to my landing approach I chop the throttle to idle and keep the speed at between 50-60 mph and the site just above the horizon with this attitude I generally lose around 500 ft before turning in for landing. Keeping the field in site at about 45 degrees over my shoulder I give myself a decent amount of room to make my approach before I turn in to make my approach. Maintaining my speed (50-60 blipping the engine) and aircraft attitude (nose slightly up) I turn into my approach point my site at the hangers and keep blipping the throttle to keep the speed down. Ideally I like to touch down at 50 on the edge of the field. Once down I go to half throttle and blip until I have bled off enough speed to dig in the tail wheel. Without stopping I then taxi to the hangars, blipping the throttle to make sure I don’t pick up too much speed.
Maybe on Tuesday night we can run some touch and go’s. I have a training mission prepared. Camels, Pups, SEas and RE8s ready to use.
Once you get a bit dialed in you can tell if the Camel still has any lift left or if back-stick will simply allow you to force the skid down and help with breaking.
If people want some fun spin-recovery practice, how about a Dolphin competition?
tuesday night is OK for me, but also today after 17:00GMT we can try something if you have nothing else to do…at 17:00GMT I will start the TS and will be there…meanwhile I will be practicing touch and go on single player…
