I can keep Ju-88 in the air sideways and climb 700fpm or so

Definitely, an empty Ju88 performs like a fighter. And viceversa   Impressive.

spins are awsome in 1.04!

I was at 22k doing a hammerhead to save my bacon in a p51d w full wing tanks and empty aux tank...

screwed it up fell over the top into a spin and didnt get out of it till about 6k when i put the gear down   the rudder wouldnt break it it was a great spin for sure even though it wasn't a flat spin like the yak can get into it was a mean one.

lovin it

The spins are interesting.

I got a P-51 in a inverted flat spin,,no recovery until I was a smoking hole in the ground.

I don't think the FM has changed fundamentally, i think it is pretty much the same FM but with different parameters.

Last night marked the *first* time I've ever gotten into a spin in AH. It caught me off guard but I was really happy to see it. I'm diggin' the new FMs... if anything, the fights are lasting 3 times as long.

Gatt, sustained turn rates and "E retention" or drag are intimately related.  Of the guys posting on this thread, the only one who has even a remote idea of how to calculate such things is Wells, and he seems satisfied with the new drag model in level flight and coordinated turns.  

I think the issue now is drag due to large yaw angles.  There is either too little drag or too much lift from the fuselage, or some combination of the two conditions.
