ooohya. One more thingy.

Wasnt trying to "take away" from you trainers in the TA. And what you guys do in there. Good stuff all round.

Just saying.

My bad.

I can agree with ya on that Morph, but one can learn the same in both arenas, only difference is you do not get "SHOT DOWN" in the TA as you do in the DA........
you still have the benefit of flying against a Red, in the TA . most of the new flyers just hover around the vicinity of A! though.only more acknowledged new flyers will ask to venture off to a lone field and actually work on the hard core stuff....as you put it

Trust me bud. I have the ubber most respect for you trainers.

I offered my assistance as a trainer for you guys. About a, well a year ago now I guess.

I was told I had to become a nicer person.

Tequila - I think we are talking stall limiter now that I think about it. The reason it was on is because I'm not used to flying the 38 with it off, and I knew if I were to try this I would spend more time in flat spins than actually working on the maneuvers. But that does seem to be the case anyway. Like I said, its not just the 38, I had the same behavior in the jug.

Talking to those guys is a great idea, and I plan to investigate further, but I think that there should be a setting to enable/disable stall limiter in the TA. If it is indeed for teaching new pilots, the stall limiter is a nice thing to have. And I checked several times, unchecking it, then rechecking it, and the plane behaved the same both ways.

Turn off Combat Trim if you fly the P-38. It is useless and will only hinder you, especially in dives or other high speed maneuvers.

You guys are all right, and I really didn't want to turn this into a "what should I fly with" thread. Was just pointing out that if I had the stall limiter on, and it is behaving like it is off, there is an issue with that in the TA. Regardless of whether or not someone should use it, the setting seems to be busted.

Thanks to everyone who posted, I may be finding some of you for 38 flight training =)
