Any P38 Trainers?
« on: July 31, 2012, 02:14:25 AM »
Looking for some training on offense/defense, flap usage in the P38. I'm on the west coast but can be flexible as to the time/days.
 
Call sign: Xrossbow

Thx

A good starting point would be to search for Delirium's films of the P-38 clinic he conducted awhile ago.

I can make myself available this coming weekend, I cannot commit to any days during the week as I have my own kids and my sister's kids during the week for summer.

Soulyss is also a trainer, and he specializes in the 38.

I am a great instructor... if you want to know the proper procedures on placing the nose of an aircraft in a 90 degree vertical attitude with the horizon and how to follow it properly into a nice soft patch of dirt.     :noid

Thanks, I'll send a PM to see about a day and time. Meanwhile is the film that Ack mentioned available someplace?

Thx for the consideration, but I'm very capable of accomplishing that rather intricate maneuver already!

Except for the teeny tiny fact that I'm not on the training staff.  :)

I am however happy to try and answer any questions I can.

Soulyss used to be a Trainer until he was called to serve on the CM staff. He is one of the best; definitely a better man and instructor than I am.

No, no sarcasm... he has earned that praise.

Don't listen to Spork.   When it comes do doing things completely wrong and wrecking 38s, I'm your man.  Watch me some time and do the opposite.  You'll live forever!

For a starter, Delirium's P-38 clinic: http://www.fw190.org/P38Clinic.htm .

And it is a shameless plug for our website  :D

When you're in the MA, check to see if I'm online (in-game handle: AKAK) and I'll be more than happy to give you some tips and pointers if I'm available.
