51 Pilots and 190 Pilots
« on: April 12, 2016, 02:09:31 PM »
I cant stand them.. Timid flying taken to a new level. I am getting really bored seeing good pilots go to waste because of the desire to only pick or run.

Fly something fast enough to catch them, the problem goes away.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

You fly F4Us so I can't take your comments seriously about timid pilots because unfortunately those are the ones who come across the most timid to me. Not a jab at you personally, don't know how you fly, just my experience with most F4U pilots.

Been waiting for the Yak 3 to get brought up in a discussion like this :devil

If you fly a Yak-3....I assume you think your good but don't notice the plane doing all the work for you :devil

Pfft.  The plane does all the work for everybody, or are you out there flapping your arms and spitting at your opponents?

Any plane less than 30 ENY is for alternative lifestyle types.   :neener:

I hope people think that when I come across them so they go lax in their turns and forget about how well it can really turn ;)
