Im sure this one been covered somewhere.
But i was doing a bit of reading on the george and found this:
A unique design feature was wing flaps which operated automatically to increase "lift" when necessary during extreme maneuvers. The device, operated with electricity and oil pressure using a U-shaped tube containing mercury, was an important factor in the aircraft's maneuverability in combat.
found at the US Airforce museum site http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/air_power/ap18a.htm (http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/air_power/ap18a.htm)
Does the george modelled here do that?
Im too busy getting that spit in my sites than to look at the flap gauge (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
I'm starting to love the N1k2 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yes Spatula, the "automatic butterfly flaps" are already "in the model".
Thats what allows the 9,000 lb George to manuever like a 7,000 lb Spitfire, at least for a few seconds.

Wish that was represented visually, also the La-5FN and Me109 slats too.

That would be cool.
