Thanks bj229r,
I have a ton of fun in the Jug. I have a moment every now and then but for the most part....you and the ones I menttioned above whip me. It's a ton of fun and can do alot of things good but IMHO nothing GREAT.
As an MA fighter , it's outclassed by alot of planes. But when flown on the very ragged edge it can flat get busy with ALOT of fighters.
SgtPappy...learn Flaps , flaps , and more flaps. Learn throttle control and get used to the fact that you will be the first target among your buds. Funny , a high bogie will fly in and leave the 2 spits , 3 190's , 2 109's and 6 LALa's to find you in the only Jug , and YOU'LL be the one picked on first.
Seen it happen a ton of times.
keep all the dive speed you can get and until you become fairly proficient at flaps at throttle , OR just like mixing it up in impossible odds don't turn much.
I'm a terrible teacher.....As I said....seek out those I listed above. They have been more than willing to help me whether they knew they were or not. BluKitty has beat me so many times its not even funny. Same goes for YUCCA.
Best of luck....I prefer the D25 over the others , but each one of em I enjoy.
