16''s great roll rate makes it the best of the spits. It can't turn with a hurri or zero, can't outclimb a niki, can't out run a lala, but used properly it may be the best all around plane (non perked) in the game.
I like it when a pony or lala is chasing me. Just put a little climb into your extension and you walk off and leave them, assuming they don't have a big e advantage to start with.
Guns package is great, ammo load is weak.
Just have to know it's stregnths and weaknesses.
