Juzz! Thank you... I knew I'd read somewhere in my distant past about dive brakes on the Apache.. and remember also hearing that it was considered a very competent AC compared to its early war contempories. Allison power??? No turbo?? Dammo wish I had my library..
Lephturn.. yup.. I don't disagree. The F4U seemed undermodeled in previous rev's when I flew it.. hopeless climb sticks out as my biggest surprise in it. My memory is rusty but I had it mentally pegged as one of the best sustained climb performers of the war. That sure aint how it felt when I flew it two revisions ago.
In any case.. I would have prefered seeing the F4U upgraded.. (even better: the -4 with those awsome cannon released)...and yes, even give the LW AC their just due with performance adjustments closer to the Mustangs rather than seeing the Mustang made a WB gelding.

Its franky impossible to judge from my seat in the "interested participants" section of the flight models debating society; (especially since I only have extensive expericence with the P51D/AH) and I'm very uncomfortable about my statements now.. I ain't got a leg to stand on and I know it.
But; the P51D/AH just don't have that "feeling" and I miss it.

I'd rather see 100 overmodeled doras roaring down and have that eager pony to fly against them than this gelding they gave me yesterday against one Fiesler Storch.
"..thats my story; and I'm stickin to it!"
Thank you.. and I'll watch for those performance tables as they progress.
Salute!
