As far as I'm concerned the Buecker is great to look at, and great to fly, but a right bloody nightmare to land.
According to the data in load up it's meant to cruise at 175 KPH but seems to reach 200 while climbing out from take-off, makes a Cessna seem pretty gutless.
Four almost perfect landings, (by my standards anyway) were followed by violent veering to the right and a big A over T ending.
I need to go away and think about this. Half my fleet are "tail-draggers" and I thought I had the technique worked out. If this was a German training plane, it may have had some bearing on the result of the war...?
