I would strongly agree with this. You can roll a 190, but it won't change pitch without the stall warning going off. There's nothing more hair-raising in a 190 than a low-alt high-speed stall with a torque roll twist and an LA-7 chasing your fumes.

The funny thing is the 190D-9 is much better suited to the sort of flying most P-51 fliers do. The 51's benefits over the D-9 don't really show up unless you mic it up a little more.

Midnight, if you want to, come to the DA with me and I'll show you what I mean when I say the P-51D handles better in a knife fight than the La-7. It can be a pretty good fight, but the P-51 actually has more 'wiggle room' than the La7 in my opinion.

The 51 can perform better higher up then the d9. 190s dont perform well above 20k.

between 15 and 10k they are in their element.
