ā¦and I even survived BOTH my first takeoff and first landingā¦(reduced power is your friend apparentlyā¦)
Nearly everything that can wrong with landing on the wheelies is basically because people cross threshold too fast. Weāre used to jets falling out the sky I think.

I accidentally landed 3-pointā¦is the P-51 a drive on the wheels and lower the tail plane?

Did you walk away from it?..
This is why I prefer the Pacific.
Cross the back of the boat at 90 knots, gear and hook down. Be it the wire or the barrier, one way or another youāre going to stop.
I didā¦! To my great surprise!
3-point is the goal. You can roll out on two wheels but youāre taking your chances with pranging the spinner. Flair and touch them all.

True that. 3-point in any wind is the best way to go. Save the wheel landings for the airshow.

Seems like it, I always get a bit wobbly when seeing three point landings, that tiny tailwheel and the poor stresses it has to endure 
As long as you donāt slam it too hard it should be fine. TBH I donāt recall ever damaging a tail wheel on a landing in all my years of simming. Main wheels, propā¦oh yes! 
The tail wheel has only ever been shot off in combat, leading to a troubled landing later when that tail touchedā¦
As for the tree collision, well I guess itās better than passing thru them like ghosts, but Iām not a big fan of solid rebar concrete tree sculptures painted realistically. 
The plane should definitely suffer wingtip damage, but the impact-induced left spin seemed to be a little too far the other way.
In other words, tip sheared off good, crazy flat spin too much.

Thatād be idealā¦but if we are given the option of trees we can fly through, or trees that are concreteā¦Iāll take the concrete. I want a penalty for being stupid.

Absolutely. Its also a small price to pay to have the advantages los blocking gives
Should also see in that video that I managed to skim off of a tree during my crash landing that didnāt result in a spin. Sparky, yes, but no spin 
I am ok with this. The new trees are fabulous!
Demote yourself back to FO and youāll get that every dayā¦

Re-becoming an FO would be great. No paperwork, minimal responsibility, can point to the Captain and say āI told you soā when things go wrongā¦
āI told you that patient wouldnāt fit through the doorā¦ā

Not so so great on pay day though .
But Beach, what can be better than your current situation: flying with your FAVORITE captain every flight?
