Hi Bob
Takeoff was like Europa Mono takeoff - quite easy but must be careful and
concentrate to keep it straight. But landing was awful - at least for me.
It was told to me that most of the MEs were destroyed during the war when
landing. Speed over the numbers and when touching must be 250 km/h (135
knots). Mustang P51 (a real one!) was a pussycat to land when compare to
ME109 (please notice that was a Hi-Pe Simulator as I told to Paul, not a
real one [attachment]).
What can I say - I am happy I am living and flying just now and not past as
a fighter pilot during the war.

Fred and all,
it is always so: if you have not something - you say "it is unnecessary
/stupid /useless /dangerous /expensive /risky / etc to keep yourself
happy".
That is human behaviour.
What more you miss something that more you claim "I do not need it".
Those people who have not an automatic transmission in their car claim
manual is better because lots of reasons.
When they finally happen to get an automatic, they will never ever give it
away.
I am sure all those boys who are flying with their fixed gears which are
hanging around there and there are dreaming every night once to be a pilot
with a manhood and a fabulous retractable gear and those wonderful
neverending flights towards sunset like big and fast eagles (which are
usually flying legs retracted). See attached photo - it is for
you Fred (somewhere over Poland and yes - I know many reasons why it is
good to have those fixed gears in AN-2 ;) )
They say: first was an egg, then came a human being.
I say: first was a plane, then came a Europa Monowheel (w a retractable uc)
.
***
OK it maybe gives you some micro knots more if you can reduce a bit your
cooling drag but I still prefer a water thermostat. Maybe it is better to
have both ;) and gears upp of course!
Thanks!

Raimo...the romance of flight shows up in many forms...wonderful
sunset photo from your AN-2...and you can open a window, throttle
back, and listen to the wind in the wires.
On the issue of the semi-retract monowheel, Kim Prout's low pass in
the video (was it the Kitplanes one?) said it all for me w/ his
Classic just scooting along in a shallow bank...ahh, to reach
COMPLETION!!!
