I thought I would share this find with you all.  It's a great site on the beloved Mossie.

Yup.  Contacted a real Mossie driver on there when I had some questions a long time ago.

I flew a plywood & canvas aircraft last saturday. So now I am definately in love with the concept. What an incredible little hopper..... I had the ride of my life.

Mossie.... :aok
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

So you mean it is a duck.

Dunno, but maybe you can build a bridge out of it?

Thanks for posting that.  I'll add it to the rest of my aircraft links.   :aok

Now... I have to admit, I'd wish the AH admins would get the Mossi right and let it be the force it should be.   ;)  Fix the current model and get another variant or two in there.  :D

Well HTC got the mossie right more or less (some ineffective elevator issues still remain). The problem is the choice of modeling the flame dumpers that knock off 10-15 mph from its speed. Most mark 6's did not use them for day operations.
