check 6 with the f4u

I really like this ride but get real paranoid because I can't check my six due to the poor visiblity.  Are there any manuvers or things u can do to help.  I mean-I know a wingman goes a log way but sometimes I don't have one.

In any plane which has poor 6 visibilty, eg corsairs tiffies etc.  I normally use rudder to swing the back of the plane about a bit.  Just kick it left then right normally covers all angles.

Make sure you have adjusted your views for maximum visibility and saved your head positions.

This is a bit out of date, but have a look:
