I liked to slow down fights and turn, so read these with that in mind. Not the best way to approach these fights but was how i had fun doing it, but would leave me for dead if more red guys showed up sometimes.

F4U vs P40?
Only time this fight was ever a beoch was when the P40 had a bunch of E and wouldn't fall for the take my six so i can reverse trick.

F4U vs spit9 or spit16?
Would always turn fight the Spit9 without even thinking twice. Spit16 i tried to slow them to the point where i was max flaps and he was flopping around like a fish.

F4U vs BF109s?
Had to sucker these guys into slow turn fights, hard to win an E game with a 109 if i was at the disadvantage.

F4U vs FW 190D?
See above 109.

F4U vs Ki84
This was my favorite fight every time and a victory unless i got to cocky. Always got in a rolling scissor and flapped them to death.

F4U vs P51
was the same as the 109, if he had E i would do what ever i could to preserve the slash attacks and sucker him into a rolling scissor.

I see it flying around all the time in the summer.  It just floats!  It "looks" to be very low in the wing-loading department, at least without a bunch of passengers...
