I've been flying the F4U-1 a lot the past couple months and just the other day decided to start putting in time on my favorite from the Euro theater, the P51B.  I got into a fight with a P38, AKRoper I think, and I couldn't believe the 51B kept snap rolling on me when I'd try to make a turn.  I thought the F4U was supposed to have a problem, but I couldn't control this 51!  What is up with that?  Is that a historical characteristic of the Pony?  And, I can see this thing being a bit of an advantage once you know how to control it.  
BTW, the 51D is in serious need of a facelift.  I'd like to see a checkernose or a blue-nose something along the lines of Bizkit's image.
