Hehe, eny had many of us down to flying Spit 1's last nite for a little while. Country channel was quite funny for a while.
Knit1: "Never have flown this before"
- time passes-
Knit1: "Hey, what's wrong with this #$%*
plane?"
- time passes -
Knit1 "aaaargh, POS"
I upped a mossie myself, quite fun. Geezis what a set of cannons on that sucker.

Why would anybody take a Spitfire Mk I when the C.205, La-5FN, Bf109G-2 and Mosquito Mk VI were all available?

A challenge?

several weeks ago i was bored and grabed a spit1, every con i encountered seemed to run awey.
so i went fishing saying on the country channel i can shoot down any plane with the spit1.
soon someone took the bait and said theres no way in hell i can shoot him down.
we went to the DA and the poor chap even suggested that i will pick his plane to make it a fair fight, i told him the entire point is to make the fight unfair. he grabed a Bpony and after like ten minutes i killed him :)
the man was shoked lol
the moral is spit1 is l33t! and dont mess with it :D

just dont push forward on the stick.
ever.
even ww1 bipes didnt have such poorly designed engines.

I remember the first time I flew one. I was sure my sound card was breaking up. Little did I realize the carb was gravity fed.

bet i can shoot you down with the spit1.. choose any plane you want :p :D

Deal. He's tryin to get you suckered in to thinking the crap planes are actually the best. Don't be fooled gents. - One sortie proves nothing. Could have done the same thing in a Spit 5 and gotten "owned"
-
This an open challenge to anyone?
-

been trying to fade out my flyingaround BBS ID. force o' habit when I replied to your post. Just got tired of peeps on bbs. calling me flyingaround 'cause they 2 lazy/stupid to look a sig. at bottom.
Oh... and if you think I need HELP killin' you 1 on 1, go ahead and pass that over here. (Toke toke pass pas my brother. AWWW DURN it you lipped it))
-
lol flyboy, you just dunno what ya got yaself into. I'd bout bet Luteyfer will own ya.
(hmmm should I? mmmm nahhh, be like taking candy from a baby)
-
Hell, I'll even fly the spit 1 and still own ya :p Hehehehhe.
-
You know what Flyboy.
Im up for the challange.
There is no way no how I should beat you in any plane. I know your a really good pilot and Im just a noob. But hey I need all the practice I can get and Ive never fought a challange before so it will be fun.
You spit 1 me yak9u.
Tex.
-
thats what 5 on 1?

Spit Mk1 for you
Hurri Mk1 for me
ok?
Nothing win .303cal kill
-
No I want a 1v1 on you FB.. ;)
Im not THAT big of a noob so I need a 5v1.. ;)
-
Oh yeah, gotta love the Spit 1 - nothing is more fun than hanging on to some F6F drivers tail pecking away at his airframe for minutes until some LA7 driver zooms in and is awarded the kill with 3 20mm hits. Woo.
For added fun, try bomber intercepts with the 202 or BF109e4. Plink plink plink plink plink plink... :rolleyes:
Well enough of that, I'm off to hunt Moose with my .22

Hmmm...
Your already outnumbered 1 on 1 in spit1 regardless of how good a stick you might be (except for another "period" plane of course). I went thru this way back when in TA with the spitV vs 109F4 arguement. I managed to beat the 109 since I was a better stick but sure learned that the 109 was a better plane.
As for spit1 vs "brand X" well a lucky pilot wound or radiator snapshot on an overshoot is only thing that gives you a chance...now obviously if its spit 1 to hurricane or spitV the .303's at convergence are almost as deadly...I've sawed wings off pretty easily with em....

Actually, you can push forward you just have to be careful not to hit negative G's. Anything down to 0 is fine and will not cut out your fuel flow. If you have to go inverted rolling or looping you have to make sure you keep it under a decent G load and don't camp out upside down. Get your maneuver done and get back to level. Flying the Spit I and the Hurri I for awhile teaches you to keep your moves tight. Plus I've found that after you get used to your limits on forward motion of the stick, you can bounce the nose down to intentionally kill the engine for a second and use it to your advantage to slow down in a tight turn. You definitely want your convergence set right in these planes.

When open my account again I bet I could kill your spit I with my PonyD. Whoever you killed in the DA was either way over confidant, and therefore very negligent, or just a bigger dweeb than me...possibly both.
-
I dont think Flyboy is bloody serious. He just like to challenge people to fight vs his Spit Mk1 and learn more. "Can I defeat/survive this attack and turn the table?". "AH! Yes! he take a bite! pingpingpingpingpingping... "
I challenge people to fight vs my Hurri Mk1 in h2h - FFA rooms. Just for fun. Ziljon deaths but so what. Its just a game.
BTW I know very well difference of MA/CT/SEA and h2h :)

Just choose a set of bombers with a nice rear gun. The 26s would be ideal for killing spit mk1s, I think.

What people need to realize is that next to a spit mk1 or hurri mk1 planes like the zeke can't turn for crap. I managed myself in a 5 on 1 the other night in a spit mk1, even got 3 kills before ammo ran out. If your smart about what turns you make this thing can be impossible to saddle up on. People will dweeb out and go for HOs in no time.

Whatever yer smokin, I want some. A Hurri I will stay with a zeke for awhile. For a pretty good while in the hands of a good stick. Even better if the zeke pilot is green. Maybe thats been your situation, or you've managed some cherry pickin and feel good. And thats just if it was the A6M2. I've heard some people say you are pretty good so I'll just assume you are and not argue, but your post shows either a lack of experience or alot of luck if you truly believe that. Have you even bothered to try flying a zero?

Seeming as I've landed Four kills a few times in the Spit1. I'd say you've opened your mouth when you shouldn't have. You give 1.5-2 secs behind you at all in a fight. Your wing is coming off.
For those who "push forward" on the stick and starve the Carb. Don't do that, I do what the British did, Invert then dive. Voila! No neg-G's.
The Spit1 is a good plane in the hands of someone capable of dealing with being an "underdog". Most take it for granted, and because of that, you get kilt by me, for that, I thank you.

BTW - Flyboy, you will be OWNED by Lute.
