who says a 190 can't turn w/ a spitfire?
« on: June 01, 2000, 05:16:00 PM »
 Here's a film I made last night, where I bounced a spit.  Only I kind of messed up the bounce and got EXTREMELY lucky that I didn't go home in a bag.

 The best part is near the end of the fight when the spit's buddy came down to try and help him.  I split S and he ripped his wings off when he tried to follow  

 This fight probobly should have gone the other way as I was out of trim and riding a stall the whole fight, you can see me spin a couple of times.  I was lucky to recover.  For anybody that doesn't understand or needs help w/ deflection shooting there are a couple of good examples in the film.

 Also take note at what range I get hits on the spit.  Bet it would be different in a 1c

Sweet Udie. I saw where you were getting alot of wing dip. I'm amazed you held it out of a spin. The spit made several mistakes too though, In that kind of fight--the spit "should've" won, but you beat the odds. Nice

Hi Udie,
I can't view it  

No errors just tower view, No radar on map nothing. As other can view it am I missing something?
