F4U question

[SunTracker]

Well not that it matters much, but all U.S. engines suffered damage and could/would seize up after 7 to 30 seconds of inverted flight.

Incorrect statement

Incorrect statement

Let's not tell him why or anything.

Take away the "All US Fighter" part and it's not that incorrect...in fact it is correct if the engine wasn't designed with or had installed an inverted fuel and oil system.

No way,whatever is American supost. to be  good.
Nobody ever mentions that P47 is russian couse it's good:)it's an American:)
if it were crapy they would call it "russian pos"
Same goes to P51 i think it's german creation,not sure.
No offence to anyone

I don't get it. Considering how good the Soviet Planes are in this game, where is this coming from?

Is this more about the lgay-7 thing? Sorry ATA, but it wouldn't have that nickname if it wasn't so good at what it does. Sort of like the P-51 "Runstang."

If a plane wasn't good, it sure wouldn't be added in Aces High.

[SunTracker]

Ok, which American planes had an oil system capable of sustaining oil pressure in inverted flight?

Heres the planes that could not do it:

P-47
F4U
F6F
P-38
P-51

Any by logical deduction, if these planes were not equipped with such an oil system, neither were other American fighters.

You don't by any chance have a reference that back this claim up?

No i wasn't talking about lgay7 thing
My apologies guys.I didn't mean to offend you.
BTW acodrding to that nikname P51 runs and la7 is homo that runs.?
People that cant fight will run,doesnt matter wich plane they are in and same skill level pilots will try to cach you till you run out fuel.
But it's just mine humble opinion.
Almost forgot,Kozhedub flew La5,last 17 kils in la7,it doesnt deserve that homo nik:)
Best regards:aok

P-51
http://nasaui.ited.uidaho.edu/nasaspark/safety/process/flight.htm

Flight restrictions are: no "power-on" spins; no snap rolls; inverted flying should not exceed 10 seconds (there will be a loss of oil pressure and failure of the scavenge pumps to function properly in inverted position)

P-38

1. FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS

(1) Deleted.

(2) Continuous.inverted flight.

The F3F had a scavanger pump to allow for sustained inverted flight, but the F6F, F4U, and P47 did not.

[BaDkaRmA158Th]

So its not the engine themselfs, but the pumps that dictate if the engine can or cannot be supplyed the oil to fly inverted, interesting.

Simple, nuff said.

[bunch]

Since when does an R-2800 engine require oil to operate properly?

[Muddie]

This is good stuff!!

   Muchos Gracias Senor!
