Got in a turn fight with a spixteen the other day and started to acually out turn him. I saw that he had flaps down and I was extended full. Once he saw that he was losing the advantage, he HOed me right in the cockpit.
No duh, it was a spit 16.
I was in a Spit 9, low and slow, some idiot in a Spit 16 tried to sneak behind me, I did a quick cut throttle and reverse, 2 turns, dead. Spit 5's and Spit 9s are the ones you should be measuring the Ability of the Mossie in.
