Yak addiction broken
« on: June 07, 2009, 05:38:19 PM »
Thanks to Skyrock and his excellent instruction in the DA  :aok I have been broken of my addiction
to the Yak9u. His words were along the lines of "We've got to get you out of that yak and into
something with some wing area man".
Took his words to heart and thought well "F4Us got some honkin wing, let's try that along with
his tips to ride out that stall a wee bit more".
Eureka!!!
The love for the F4U1A is born.

Welcome to the club. Just remember though more wing = more target.  :D

Yak's always seem such a small target when I run across them. Always hard to hit for me.

IMHO a skilled hog pilot is the most dangerous pilot in the game.

Too bad, it would of been nice to see you in a yak for some variety in the MA.

I'm still waiting for HTC to approach the low speed handling of the Corsair, everyone from Bodhi to Widewing say something isn't quite right.

Yup, the YAK is frustrating to say the least. . . but I'm thinking of more going the exact opposit - like the Jug. . .all that rock and roll make me very very happy.

But then I would have to change my sig.
