No it wouldn't. Weight isn't what caused stability issues in the F4U, otherwise the Hellcat would have had an even nastier low-speed stall, as she was somewhat heavier than the F4U. Obviously history was quite the opposite.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I am talking about the weight of the 1 as compared to the 1-a D C and 4!  What were their weight differences?  Where's widewing?:D

SkyRock and Saxman,

I too still prefer the -1 over the -1A.........

alot of it has to do with  what Widewing posted, when going over top in the vertical, backing off a tad on the throttle helps it get around / reverse quicker.......( talking bout the -1A here )  I guess it has to do with the more power it has.....

will go find that thread and come back and edit/post here.......


edit: Widewings post on F4U's performance awhile back
