I can always use help on flaps and throttle on the Hogs
« on: February 22, 2010, 01:03:49 AM »
Don't want to change the game just want to know how to use the flaps and throttle better. I have been taught turn fighting and barrel rolling from BigRat had a couple lessons from TC, 1 Lesson from murdr, he could out turn me in a 38 :neener:, would like to see him try that now.

Ready when you are TC. Needing some stick time in the D hog any way. I am better at defense and a little better at the barrel roll defense. Actually beat a p38 in a rolling scissors tonight but had no ammo to shoot him with.
BigRat says he as taught me all he knows. So, maybe it is just 100 years of practice I need.


And I still want to see that split-s from 800ft
Will be in the TA from 7pm Est-10pm Est tonight

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

And if you're ever looking for a squad, VMF-251 is entirely made up of Hog enthusiasts. </shameless plug>

:D
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I'm already in a squad, at least, until they fire me.
