• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Captain Sim B-52 (proper level attitude takeoff and landing mod)

The Buff has a variable AOA in the horizontal stab. There are fuselage markings that indicate its angle at the leading edge. The nose down look is caused by aircrew setting that angle. There is also a stability augmentation system, SAS, tied into it. I was in avionics and this is the best of my memory. Believe the adaptation was to keep the AOA of the high lift wing at its best angle.
