Why do you continue to post this crap?   Are you "attempting to show off"?   Are you "posting for shock value"?    Are you "trying to impress others"?    Please, lay it all out for us, so we are informed.  

A person starts one of the FEW decent threads and you choose to "tear into him".    You keep this crap up, you're looking at a PNG.    BTW, I'm not the only one fed up with your juvenile antics.

Try not to let others' views on planes affect which one you choose. Let them give you the data and then make your own conclusions. If they give an opinion whether it's 'that plane's uber' or 'that plane is useless' make up your OWN conclusion after youve heard FACTS. Research what people say if you're not sure of its credibility.

A point I like to state is choose a plane. Depending on which one it is, you may wish to fly a few other planes to help you master your first choice. Before I flew the F4U Corsair, I flew my Spit like any other dweeb... in circles. After flying the Hog, I learned a totally new style of combat which really helped me find success in the Spitfire. Any immature little kid who complained about my noobishness didn't know my story so I just didn't say anything. Nothing pisses 'em off more than receiving no words from someone they're sadly attempting to insult.

I'm not good enough to give good advice, but I fly the f6f-5 pretty much all the time. There are guys in this game that can ruin you in a heartbeat with that plane....I'm not one of them. The Hellcat can do everything well, but doesn't do anything great....kinda like me, except I do everything bad and some things mediocre. Great plane though and takes a beating like few others can. Just my thoughts.....

Didn't you read his signature?  He's been playing since Tour 72.  That's all I need to know that when he posts, I'm reading the words of an 'Experten'.

I think the best thing the Yak has going for it is..... Pilots underestimate what it can do in the hands of a pilot that has spent a lot of time in it.

My personal experiance shows me that pilots do not take the Yak seriously when they see it in the sky.   They will not engage the Yak first if presented with other choices.

P38 all models:  
Don't plug the margarita blender into the cigar lighter receptacle, it doesn't support the amperage required for the better quality blenders. Have your Maintenance Chief run a heavier guage wire and fuse right off the master battery bus. (Good Chiefs actually install an on/off switch right on the stick for you!)

LA7:
The warp coils are prone to overheating. This can be really dangerous and inconvenient. Be sure to vent the plasma relays regularly when over 10K.

That's all I got.

thanx for the info on the 38's !! I'll get my crewchief right on that wire problem!!
Flying since tour 71.
