I have been away for about a month as well. Got too many things going on in RL, but hope to be back in the saddle of my Frank soon. This thread has helped me a lot in understanding trim in relation to AH2.

Thanks to all that have contributed

4) You are using the Ki the worst possible way. 250mph is the worst speed for that bird. Be fast or be slow 150mph or less so flaps can come out.
5) Don't turn until flaps are out. Use the vertical. Thats what it can do best.

Best thing to do in the Ki, use the vert to slow down your opponent. Once speeds drop below 200 and preferable around 150 the Ki will pwn any plane.
And no, I have not experienced what you see so maybe you are just pulling too much for that bird?

Wheee! Hey Gian

Well it won't be much or any flying for me this month I think, maybe and hopefully some, I sure miss it and all good friends.

Saving for a new computer so I can get rid of the friggen suttering and low FPS.

I hope you'll be able to be online soon. Looking forward to meet you again, my friend.
