There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

The Hellcat is a very nice handling bird. It only lacks raw level speed. It will be a good ride for booming and zooming, just keep your altitude up.  The SpitII is the best turner of all the Spits although it's lacking in raw speed and thrust. The TBM? Who knows, who cares.

The Hellcat is extremely stable and forgiving, but still quite responsive. You can yank it around like a zero, and only get a very minor stall.

The TBM is also quite suprising, its much more manueverable comparitively, than it has been in any other online flight sim.

Expect to see ALOT of Hellcats in the arena now. Only downside is that even with the movable view system, it still has the worst "6-view" in the game.

Are you sure? It shouldn't be since it's basically a Spit Vc with extra weight added, and no increase in power. It should turn worse than the Spit V, and be substantialy slower.
