I took the lala up lastnight. I was suprised by how quickly the ammo disappears from the 3-gun version. I was also suprised by how little damage the 20mm guns do. And, lastly, I was suprised how well the 2-gun version turns on the deck.

A nice little plane. Maybe with some flight time, I might like it. Being a "turn fighter", I didn't like the way it held energy. Until I slowed down to flap speed (a suprising 180-200mph), I was spending most of my turns in a near black-out.

A very responsive plane on the deck, no matter what speed I was at. I did like the way I caught that pony. That was nice.

Well, made it to 9 last night before getting wasted.  

Is filming the run an absolute requirement?  Some of those films are going to be large and I'm not sure you're going to get buy in?

Using the vators and rudder to roll would be a little on the slow side methinks, I've had that happen to me before, sure was a fast ride while it lasted :D

The biggest problem with landing big kills in the ElGay is that you become a high priority target for most of the red guys. I routinely get 4-7 before getting overwhelmed low and slow or latched onto by a Churri. Other than that, if flown timidly and pure B&Z 20+ should not be difficult at all. It will take a long time though, hotmail will not accept the huge attachment (the film), and the pile-it will be bored to tears. I'd suggest a rethink of the criteria to include a screenshot instead, but of course then folks will just vulch their shades to post 100+ kills...sigh.

lol i was gettin bored by the end, not my fave ride at all

that was 16 without death, but landed the first 6 (wasnt recording)... that was also fast base defence as they was trying to sneak our Vbase.

my fave 2 kills was the p47 (which managed to land with half a wing) and the f4u gang on me..... and then bish and rook Spit16s i took down.

Tune in next week to watch batfink produce a little less controversy when he drops a live kitten into a barrel of half staved ferrets and teaches dogs to play fetch with live grenades, all infront of 200 armed PETA members.....
