It was a hoot! Silly me always trying to fly every plane like a 109. Tonight I learned an interesting contrast between the two airframes.
The 109 is a Doberman. It'll work hard, you can fling it around, and it'll muscle it's way out of anything....and all it takes is one bite to ruin someone's day.
The P51 is a woman. She's fickle when you try and do things your way, you have to make it think it's her idea to turn...then she'll turn.
No sudden inputs or she'll send you to the curb.
Every time I climbed in evasion I could hear storch saying "don't do the stupid". The 51 just doesn't have the acceleration to get you out of a jam.
