George

[Spatula]

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

Does the george modelled here do that?
Im too busy getting that spit in my sites than to look at the flap gauge  

I'm starting to love the N1k2

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.
