Nopoop you need to do some new stories for the BK web page.
That's some of the funniest stuff I've ever read.

Bronk I'd love to. Just getting back into the game and the flow. Glad you enjoy them.

With time and a good dose of Nor Cal wheelchair dank I'll do my best.

Thanks WideWing, good write up.

I can see it's back to the test range for me.

Allways liked the hellcat but it would really do a violent wing drop followed by and urecoverable spin at low speeds making it about ueless for how I fly (low and slow).

Are you saying that it behaves more like the FM2 at low speeds now?

can you say twit in here?

If you weren't better than me I would give your cartoon plane a good thrashing. You would be so humiliated that you wouldn't even be able to hold up your head again in any arena..... even the ava.

The F6F is a sweetheart around the stall... Did you view the film? No bad behavior was observed.

Creton and I were flying around examining and comparing the F6F and the F4U-1D. In a sustained turn, the F6F and F4U displayed similar turning circles. However, the F6F gained ground every turn of the circle (faster turn rate). I pulled into a tight left-hand climbing spiral. Not only was the F4U unable to match it, Chitown's Spit16 was unable to follow it either. It stalled repeatedly when he pulled it that tight. To get a shot, both the F4U and Spit would have to bare off, build speed and go for a snap shot on the zoom. This assumes the F6F remains in the spiral.

My regards,

Widewing

HAHAHA I landed 4 today myself and was gonna post your exact comment. Great minds think alike:D

wide... from what I have read about the F6F and F4U.... they both turned about the same with a slight edge to the hellcat at very slow speeds... so I guess the planes are performing more realistic. When I fly I have to turn the stall horn down cause that is all you can hear if it is up. I wouldn't spin the wildcats but the f6 allways caught me by surprise.

Tried out the F6 again because of this thread.

Landed 19 kills in 3 sorties. Not 1 vulch I swear!

Great plane as long as you got someone to cover your egress.
