Title: New F4U's!! I'm Dizzy
Post by: F4UDOA on November 16, 2006, 02:12:36 PM

Well,

It looks like we have these F4U's. I have not tested them but based on early oberservation

1. F4U-1 - Actually it is a 1A since it seems to have ADI. That puts it at August 1943. The performance would seem to put it at the level of the prior F4U-1A. The birdcage is beautiful. A work of art.

2. F4U-1A- This is the bomb. A 1944 F4U-1A with no pylons or rocket stubs to slow it down. 366MPH on the deck 430+MPH  at 20K. Climb similar to the F4U-1D and the Fuel load of the earlier -1 higher internal capacity. Easily the best dogfighter of the bunch.

**** Again I have not tested these****

3. F4U-1D- 1944 Performance unchanged

4. F4U-4- 1945 Beastly as usual.

It appears as the F4U-1C will be replaced by a perk ordinance system. Good news for F6F fans, they may get a 20 mil option.

Kudos HTC!!!

BTW, The trim wheels are awesome!!!

Heya Saxman,

It seems this is the FM we have. The listing for clean condition is accurate but only defined in one paragraph.

Ledpig has been referred to the P38 Security Council. We will be voting on sanctions against Ledpig at a later time.

Might have to revoke his membership in the Aces High P38 Pilots Association if this continues.
