Low, slow, and a N1k2 on your 6

[humble]

As mentioned the odds are almost zero...1 question and 1 possibility.

How much fuel did you have...the -1 hog carries an awful lot...but down under 20% or so it's pretty nimble.

As for options...only way I've ever survived there is to pull up hard at 45 degree's chop drop and flop.

pop the gear, dump the flaps and chop throttle...you can "knuckle under"...course 98% of the time you'll be a clay pigion (spelling)
1% you'll catch a wing tip...BUT that other 1% you have a 50/50 chance. If he keeps vis and goes up over your dead later...but if he rolls 90 deg away and goes into a tight hi yoyo you can get a nice shot...your only chance is the nikki messing up twice and your hitting a snap shot.

Heya's,

Just ran a quick test.

360 degree turn times 200FT 200MPH max G WEP. Average of three test.

NIK2-J 75% fuel
No flap
16.72 sec

2 notches flap
15.51

F4U-1 25% Fuel
No flap
18.72

2 notches flap
17.05

ME109G2 50% fuel
No flap
19.84

Point being the F4U-1 turns well but not in the same league with Spits, NIK's, Hurri's and Zero's.
