F4U Corsair - Braking
The Corsair will nose over if full brakes are applied during the initial landing roll.
Once the Stall Light illuminates the brakes can be applied fully without the risk of nosing over.

Perhaps using an EXCEL spreadsheet might do the trick here......
Anyway, these numbers are fantastic to have. Its just a matter of printing out and knowing these numbers when you want to perform a particular climb.
Recently, Gos and I executed a MIL Rated climb in the Zekes server using the data from above and it took us very little time to get up to 19,000 Feet plus, ofcourse flying away from the combat zone in our Corsairs before turning and heading back to the combat zone. Once "We" knew the numbers, flying the Corsair took on a whole new meaning.
Thanks Gos !
Once again, Gosling has outdone himself. THough I do remember a certain Rino helping out. As for the Avenegr data, thanks. It gives me the basis for my training wednesday night.
