The measure of success is that the pilot's names come up in conversation without the need for said pilot's input.

Sadly Chalenge, you'll be having to remind people that you were "good"... And the real kicker is that nobody cares.

I guess Dolby isn't one of them since he can't even spell his name correctly...

Oh the good old days, you can get out of the dreaded 152 tail spin with rudder input and throttle manipulation only very quickly. Just use the natural torque of the engine and think of the giant wing as a sail.

As for people who are the best in it, Moot was always the one I considered best. 300 kd flying against bombers and fellow noobs who think climbing to 25k is skillful, isn't impressive. Everyone knows the real fighting is 12k and lower.

There was a guy along time ago who was in the few who flew the spit14 a ton - He was real good in it but I cant think of anyone else. I never got good at recovering from that stall.

Yarbles of the few....  Dolby already mentioned him in the 2nd reply to this thread

We miss seeing you in the KOTH events, Sukov!

The spit14 player you are thinking of is Machfly. He was the best spit14 handler I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, and killing noobs on the runway is impressive? Musashi, considered to be the best swordsman, wrote in "The Book of the Five Rings" that you seize the advantage and kill your enemies. Anything else is unimportant. Live by your own rules, but don't expect anyone else to do so. Everyone listed on these "the best" threads have all been killed and even appear on my kill lists. I'm not impressed.

I’m simply in awe that so many people can get so many kills.

Late to the party.

From the Spit XIV pilot's notes.  The XIV had the same fuel set up as the Mk VIII with the small leading edge fuel tanks to go with the upper and lower tanks right behind the engine.  Because of the increased fuel burn of the Griffon Spits they always flew with at least a 30 gallon slipper tank to make up the range difference.  This started with the Spit XII.

The attached image is from the Spit XIV pilot's notes.  Fairly self explanatory.  Spinning prohibited with a DT on, otherwise the same recovery as the other Spits

(Image removed from quote.)

Can we get a British to American translator in here? "After not more than two turns", doesn't that mean before two turns?

Well, you've never been a Chalenge. Never. I did enjoy your "training" videos though. Very entertaining.
