Trim works well but personally I go for chopping throttle and hard right rudder most of the time.

Trim Set mapped to your stick. Switch on and off with Combat Trim.
Then do what Revo says.

Compression is a squeak!

If you are going faster than 300 in a Zeke you are doing it wrong....not to mention shedding parts.

Heh...no..not at 300...I said that in jest but the you really are "doing it wrong" flying a zeke that fast.

 If memory serves most of the Zeke models do shed upper 300s to 400.  You have almost zero control authority at those speeds anyway....it ain't no pony.  ;)

Well the point is no.. don't dive with a 109 unless you want to be obnoxiously shedding parts all over the main arena..

A6m will start creaking and groaning around 375 if you're pulling a lot of G's.  At least I think...
I fly it a lot.

You can take the A6m5 model up to 400 mph. Just dont pull hard on the stickand make sure you use you trim.

I rarely fly the m5 model.  I'm pretty sure the m3 will shed parts before 400.  I'm not positive because it has been a while since I flew one that fast....because again, you are "doing it wrong" if you do so!  :D

I fly the model 32 quite often.  Excellent stall speed performance.

the string the kid on the ground was holding generally kept me out of Zeros unless I was forced to fly one on Friday nights

I noticed a bump or bumps on the wings of the 109.. does this have anything to do with its characteristics?
