I could do a similar move in the F6F, spit 16, and RV8 but nothing I would be able to control enough to be of that much use, but I guess it's more of a desperate maneuver anyways. Other than tail slides, the only trick move I use in combat is the Cobra maneuver. It works best in the spit 16 but you can also do it in the F6F. Start off below 300 mph level, all in one motion go full right rudder, full back elevator, and use neutral to right aileron to control the maneuver. With a lot of time to perfect it the plane will quickly enter a 90+ degree angle of attack, and then by pushing the stick forward it will hopefully regain a normal AoA. However, if you pull back too long you'll start going backwards and lose any control. I would say the whole move lasts about 4-5 secs. While using this I've had the plane go from about 280 mph down to 150 in a few seconds, which could be useful if you have an enemy on your 6.
