At Strawberry Ridge in a F4U Corsair
Airstrip profile used from JAARS' diagrams for changing slope, altitude and runway width combined with drone mapping taken spring of 2018. The house and shed near top of the hill are custom located. The house was a beginner's attempt at 3D modelling in Blender for game use. The offset hangar area north east of the runway and other nearby buildings are AI generated by Asobo / Microsoft.
This is just a little showcase of the privately owned grass runway near Little Switzerland, North Carolina that offers an interesting slope varying from 4 to 16% grade, and where missionary pilots often hone their skills. I thought it might be interesting to try operating this Goodyear variant of the F4U Corsair in as light as possible configuration (only carrying 25 gallons in the reserve tank) to take off and land. This Flight Simulator 2020 addon from Milviz (https://milviz.com/flight/products/FG1D2020/index.php) does a pretty good job of simulating just how hard this aircraft is to operate at low speed and high torque while not throwing a rod.
