Turn speed for the F4U-1

I'll be there my friend. I forgot to thank you guys that let me fly there with them. I have new head views that let me see better now the big head rest is no longer in the way out the right back.

Badboy's diagrams are fantastic. You can do you own easy testing to give you some comparable data by using his bootstrap calculator:

Thanks for this!

Agreed. There's not many aircraft in the game you can say can meet any other opponent and have a better than average chance of walking away from.

Quoted for the Truth, a few pilots from 251 were flying over some furball, and I, having assigned myself to top cover, was circling above the fight when a 190D caught my attention. We merged clean, and, as we were pretty much Co-E, zoomed up and up until we stalled, trying to out zoom the other and gain an advantage. By the time I recovered, he was extending out to try and get some advantage on me. I climbed up in a slow climb, did a shallow dive before our second merge, and we merged again. This happened several times until he seemed to think he might have a chance with a turn fight, and we took the fight high and slow. I got on his six thank to the hover flaps, and he dove out. I decided that knowing who was the 190 stick was more important than flying top cover and followed him down. I did down him, but not before being chased by a Hurricane (No idea how he caught up, as we were clocking over 500 by then), a 109, and several Spits.

All this in a F4U-1. I love my Hog like a child. She even gets to dress up, rather than wearing the default skin.
