At the risk of self-identifying as still a bit "novice" , I'm seeking advice on doing a wingover (preferably) or a hammerhead in the 190D-9. Every time I pull vertical and go hard rudder, I'll roll or stall - I'm assuming from the engine torque in the former case, lack of airspeed in the latter. How do you get a clean wingover?

chop throttle perhaps?

I had a fight against Grizz in his D9 and I witnessed him perform a hammerhead closer than any 190 pilot I've ever seen. Hopefully, he will view this thread...

Make sure you're putting in almost full opposite aileron while you're throwing that left rudder. Also, make sure combat trim is turned off, and that the aircraft is trimmed basically neutral, at least in the yaw/roll axis. Some planes are easier to hammerhead than others. I was actually able to pull one off in a Jug (no film :( )--any aircraft with a lot of rudder authority or little p-factor/torque effect makes it easier.
Good luck!

I wish I could go do a few practice runs in the D9 right now and help but I'm on the road and not going to be in the game for a few months. I can't really give any specific advice because I'll probably give you incorrect information. So all I can say is throttle work is the most important factor, being able to adjust the throttle based on your speed as you get your nose up to the point of the maneuver. Then being able to maintain the correct speed as you attempt to flip your plane over as efficiently as you can. It's all based on feel, how much aileron,elevator, rudder to give. I can't give you specific input values right now because I can't fly and I can't do any test runs.
