P38 question....
« on: June 17, 2000, 11:50:00 AM »
Hi all!

I am trying to learn how to fly the P38.  It is a tough plane for me  .

I seem to get into a nasty stall when trying to manuver in the vertical plane.  The stall comes on without any warning whatsoever, and I am not sure what I am doing to cause it.

  It does not appear to be a low speed stall.  

It is very difficult for me to recover from this stall, and it consumes a lot of altitude.  I have pretty much lost the fight at this point.

Any help would be appreciated  .

its rumored this will be fixed in 1.03 but thats just a rumor.

push full forward on the elevator though and the stall will break, use flaps.


the stall at 100mph the plane seems to be stuck in its own stalled flightpath and wont recover without sever forward stick and down trim.
