You folks might want to let the OP know about diving in the hurri and spits.

I like to fly low in my death trap and when I see a high spit or hurri, I test their basic knowledge of their craft by pulling them down to me. If they do not know the basics of their craft it becomes evident when I turn hard and they try to follow. Both the hurri and spit will shed their wings in a heartbeat when at high speed.

I wave as they go by immitating a lawn dart.

That being said.... both are good planes to learn in. The Spit probably being more forgiving for mistakes. Take your time and mind your speed. Use your throttle.

I've learned from shuffler from that maneuver he does how to avoid such a thing happening.now on the other hand akak got me 3 times with a different maneuver actually pretty cool.since the update i reformated my computer and lost the films.so i guess I'll have go find him again to get new films oh and he's in a G  :salute

The G is a whole different animal. To us 38 dweebs it is our spit/hurri.

I pretty much fly the same plane..... even from capped fields.
