Hope you get better soon xanax!

Did you get the horse riders number?

I'd think she owed you one  :aok

Thanks. MRI says no ligament tears but some torn cartilage I can get taken care of when this swelling goes down. Quite a relief actually.

I don't think she was aware she parked her horse in the wrong spot. She was friendly enough but my bruised ego and a huge shot of adrenaline had me up and on my way coasting back to the parking area.

Damn Xan! That sounds pretty wild. Sucks it injured you so hard. People these days..most can't even get out of their own way.

Im not sure flying if the slow turners will help your knee if you use rudder pedals, I guess it will help to move it. Down low n slow turning constantly can be intense with the rudder.

Those planes certainly make the game harder and more challenging. Flying a P40 for a tour, I had some great fights, but even my arm was getting a work out constantly defending in the reversals. Some how my saitek peddles still work. Hey, being an "easy" target does make it seem like there are more fights as they all try to engage you for the "easy" kill  :rofl its a fantastic way to learn the art of defense and art of the overshoot. Though I always recommend coming into the match play with me so I can show you a few techniques that will greatly help you in the overshoot, and most importantly, avoid the HO. The match play spawn is a perfect place to practice avoiding the HO. There are some key concepts to avoiding the HO and gaining the advantage from it.

In any case, hope to see you out there. Don't get discouraged in the harder slower planes, they do take a bit more patience and work, but make the game so much more entertaining for everyone IMO.

 :salute

Thanks! I'd like to take you up on those match play lessons. Luckily, I have VKB pedals so all I need is good feet-no need to move this stupid knee. Hopefully I get it cleaned out on Tuesday morning.
