While I haven't been around too awful much lately, and have spent less time in the 9T than I used to, I always preferred keeping it on the deck. Kept my max alt to around 7k if advisable. Also loved seeing a Corsair anywhere near me. Wish I could find some of the videos I have/(had?) of lobbing the 37mm out to 800 indicated and blowing a F4U or Mustang to bits. To be such a small airframe it takes a pretty surprising amount of lead to bring one down. Don't be shy with it while learning how to use the tater.
