💡 Gator-RC Modeler’s Tip: Ground Handling

The Bf 109 features a scale-accurate narrow landing gear stance, which requires active rudder management during ground operations. We recommend gradual throttle application on takeoff to maintain directional control. On landing, aim for a flared "three-point" touchdown to keep the aircraft stable.
