I would agree that 0ldemon would be a good pony pilot to learn from.

Talk to WideWing (he's an AH trainer).  He has helped me a lot with the 51s. He is very knowledgeable and flies the 51s well. He is also very patient.  


PS.  Thanks WideWing and all the AH trainers for such hard work!

Wow TC, I'm flattered by your recognition of the 412th with 3 of us making your Mustang dweeb list ;) (Sr, Midnight, myself)!  Other Mustang dweebs that I think should go on that list like freezeman, bullz, wldthng (where's he at these days?), lucky, beemer & rude (back in the ol' days).  I'm sure there are others I'm leaving off.

To the topic at hand for redman555/BigBOBCH...

Here's a thread on the topic of advice on the P-51 posted a few months ago in the training forum worth a look...

http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=210845&referrerid=3699

Good info in that thread on flying the P-51.

IMHO quite honestly, the P-51 is average at best in AH when it comes to the different dimensions of aircraft performance with only speed being above average.  If you rely purely on the performance margin of the Mustang then you'll be limited to what you can do with the Mustang against other planes in AH.  

There in lies one of the secrets of learning to fly the Mustang successfully against better planes.  You have to learn to use other things besides just the raw performance margin of your airplane to your advantage, like gravity, angles, differences in airspeed or weight, etc. to outsmart the other guy to gain an energy or angles advantage against your adversary to put you in a position for a kill.

bob, if you want tips, the no. 1 i can give you is have fun. you wanna get good? forget about score or winning, just throw that pony into a fight. you'll lose a lot for a bit, but after a while you'll learn how to work it.

just go with it for a while, soon you'll be a master.

i doubt any decent stick will disagree with me. learn by experience!


Ditto Just get in there and learn by doing.  That is what I am doing with the Pony and the JUG.  Pointers are great if it was live fire with a real airplane.  Here you need to learn by doing.  Best advice I can give.
