The D model is a better stall fighter than the 9 IMO,  but ive only done 1 engagement with Taki on the deck, him a Spit 9, me in 51,  took a few barrel rolls but the 51 came up as the victor in this particular scenario.

Would hate to take your money ;)
Plus the duel of my 51 and your 38 would just be another Deja Vu,  since we both know who won these last time :D

We'll see after i get off of work which is 9 ..  But like i said it would be Deja vu all over again.  

But i dont usually go looking for fights,  but i might just make an exception this time,  since i know your gonna keep bothering me about this for a while.

We are both lucky last time films are on my trashed PC.  We were pretty equal in skill, and shot eachother down about the same amount of times.  I will stay on tonight for you though. :D

You wouldnt have film on that WldThing??

I can't quite visualize this one...normally (for me) barrel roll is an E management move to force or avoid an overshoot not a part of a "knife fight"...then again I'm far from the top of the hill :)

O im sure i can dig it up humble,  since i barrel roll in every stall fight to cause an overshoot.  Throttle adjustments with barrel rolls work very well.  

Give me your email addy and ill send one to you later tonight when i get off work.

Forcing the overshoot on the barrel rolls with Taki? Thats the kind of flying I'm talking about. I might be wrong, but it just seems like to me the b is a better little turnfighter than the D. Maybe thats just my impression because I've never been a big D fan anyway.

Anyway I'm getting better at hitting the flaps right at that correct moment to turn n go, instead of turn n auger or turn n flip like I was . B ride is good, I'd recommend it to everyone to try.

No, because me beating you pony vs pony stands out clearly in my mind. Seems to me now your just trying to uphold some image, which will be torn apart after tonight anyways. :D

rolling scissors.

edit:
The reason the P-51 seemed to do it better then the spit9 is that it slows down faster. If you start the rolling contest fast enough, the spits exelent E retention will become it's disadvantage.

Then again, if the spit chops throttle and hangs in there long enough - the pony is toast.
