Some of my motions were erratic, but were all confined to a small localized area. My drones never got far enough to "pop"

Nice flying and very quick moving from gun to gun.  :aok

Ju88s are a lot of fun. I don't think you should be able to keep your drones after you do a roll like that, though.

It wasn't as much a roll as it was a stall recovery. I nosed up too high and hit auto pilot. Otherwise I'd not have a shot from the rear lower gun. Then I kinda stalled over and dropped like a stone. The roll was just part of the recovery. I was going so slow that I didn't get very far when I dropped. That is probably the only reason the drones didn't go "pop".

krusty i have not actually wtached your film yet and i am not trying to debate you either but i have seen lancs doing immelmans without loosing drones so I would venture to say that the "box" that these formations fly in should be tightened up a little anyway
