Flew the 84 and 61 for a couple hours last night to get the feel...  Definitely prefer the 84 for speed, climb, guns, acm over the Tony.

Weird instruments after 10 years of Allied iron driving, but easily figured once you locate them all.  

Manifold puzzles me still...  More than half of it is Red background with the + sign and the rest is Black background with - sign. Would be nice to find a translated flight manual that explains this accurately.

Bad habit I'm getting into lately.... These long runways are spoiling me... Haven't had to use flaps on takeoff except when laden with a couple K of eggs on most airframes.

Hey Odee,

I think (?) the Tony has cowl mounted cannons however...which is a big plus.  The climb on that bird is not the best, but if he gets some speed, it is pretty manueverable.
