Turn Radius. Could somebody please explain??

I got a clean stall speed with full fuel and ammo (no ord) of 102 mph for F4u-1D.  I don't see a problem.  Flaps down, I was unable to get an accurate reading (trim speed only works down to 100), but I noticed a total lack of drag with flaps full down.  I maintained altitude without having to add any power at all.  There's your secret, don't dump 1 or 2 notches of flap, use FULL flaps when turning!

Aerodynamic calculations work in the air, we are not in the air.  In a perfect virtual enviorment, this could be, and actually MAY be modeled, however netlag could be working in this situation, negating the validity of any real-world mathematics.  If this was mentioned, pardon me, I missed it.  Whatever factors may or may not have been at work , a very informative discussion, and more than I want to think about (or am able to).
