No problem DAVENRINO, I just wasnt sure what you ment because you adressed it as a statement not a question. If you go back up a little on one of my other replys I said,

But then again, we are talking about WWII fighters
, although I did not make it clear, I was refering that I unfamilure with them.

As far as the antique airplanes mentioned, that was for the 60 year old design reply you mentioned and not related to the high performance issue at hand.

I have flown some aerobatic airplanes, although I am not an aerobatic pilot by any means, and my memery is unfolding a bit, my how we do forget some things....ok a lot of things and I am only 36!!!



Ok, thats it, all is understood and now my problem still lies in the excessive stick bounce unrealted to the flight models. I could have asked all this in a different way but I just AINT NO POET! :D

zrex I forgot about your reply. My dad and I discused this years ago with his experiance. I guess the CG and lift was situated somehow where the attitude did not change when the tail stalled, if indeed the tail stalled at all. We really dont know. He wasnt about to try it again to find out :D

DAVENRINO, oh yeah one last thing, I know aerobatic airplanes as well as fighters need to be somewhat unstable in a since so they can perform manuevers. I have a very close friend that owns a full scale Fokker Dr-1. Flying it literaly exhausts him. He offerd to let me fly it...I humbly declined :eek:
