best way man grab one and go to DA and beat the snot out of it....simple man....... but honestly it is mediocre slow flying....it is meant to be fast, it is just a tool designed for a specific choir, what you are doing is using it for what it was not designed for.....which is cool but to really succeed in that plane in the MA keep her fast....she turns incredible at high speed....
P51 is not my plane of choice for flying....but I will go to the DA/TA with ya to help ya figure it out....TA would be better at first...to really get down and dirty and push it with out having to reroll....
watching vids and reading is all good and dandy but unless you put it into practice....well you know that, its how you learn truly.
I totally get what you are saying. I agree, it's a real dog once you burn off all your E. I've been flying it in the MA for a few days now. I've been making a real effort to use energy saving manuevers rather then simple hard banking.... Lots of yo-yo's, and lag rolls.
Basically, I'm trying very hard to enter the fight fast and stay as fast as I can for as long as I can while still pressing the attack hard enough that the opponent can't simply dodge and reset dodge and reset. Over the years, there have been a few folks that could really throw the Pony around aggressively like that. That's what I am hoping to improve at.
On another note... What do you think is the minimum speed a pilot should strive for in the P51D?... A floor, so to speak...
