I generally seperate my plane into a few pieces and move them in different directions. It confuses the con obviously as they almost always pull off.

Now sometimes you'll have another guy come shoot at your largest piece. I usually ignore them as they usually miss and I make it to the ground.

I don't know Shuff you managed to keep your TBM in one piece a couple of weeks ago while I rode my stall down and became fish food. That was some very good flying.  :lol

I'm not sure about that fast. I somehow think the film was sped up a tad. What you can do, like in that video is if you have enough E, is lift the nose yank back hard on the stick, hit the flaps. I use this all the time on spits. Works really well for one shot. Uh don't miss.  :rofl :rofl

Addendum: forgot to mention to hit the left rudder.
Speed is a critical part in making that move happen with a P51. I've talked to Tango a few times about this and I think that even he would tell you that for the hours upon hours of practice it would take someone to do this at will, is not worth the payoff. After the plane recovers, you're totally out of E and the badguy just zooms up and away.

And I guess that makes me the other noob. But I've been around here long enough to know when I checked this thread out again, 9 hours later, I wouldn't see a film.  :D

Yes this maneuver can be done in AH I have used it many many times, I also use 2 other reversal manuvers at low level usually when its only 1V1 if performed while 2 or more are persuing it could result in a catastrophic collision for hunter or the hunted. Case in point several nights ago I was in complete defencive manuvering with a 5V1 one being dadrabbit in his F4u4. My manuver wasn,t used as a means to force a collision but to change direction to 90 degrees off persuit line and perpendicular to line of persuit dropping speed to just above stall and providing a snap shot to the side of NME aircraft and extending out the other direction.Dadrabbit was the third plane in line and I opened up to hit second plane but instead I was face to face with dadrabbits f4u4 and he caught the full force of my gunfire directly in the canopy. I didnt survive the encounter but I did recieve that a boys for the manuvering. 1 Pilot saying its one of the best manuvers he has ever seen as he watched from above. All in all the manuvers that are depicted on the history channel are from first hand accounts from the pilots themselves and put to computer animation.

Forgetting yourself aren't you?
Unless you have a film that disproves such a move?
Can you post it?
Kidding aside, can you prove nobody does this move?

You haven't done this move, but it doesn't prove other, more experienced and talented sticks haven't
Or are you going to stick to your guns simply because you can't do the move?
Usually I can tolerate such rudeness from noobs but it seems to be growing more common place. You and a couple of others have convinced me to not help, but rather just club you baby seals from now on.

:lol Steve Steve Steve. Your a arrogant little watermelon aren't you?
We must not talk back or question Steve and his ability or we'll be called baby seal noobs  :rofl And have to cower in fear of the Steve club  :rolleyes: Are you kiddin me!? Comeon wit your bad self  :rofl God forbid you think I'm rude  :rofl :rofl

Some point in time you have came away with the impression that your a internet rock star. People have blown so much smoke up your butt that you think your the best and can't be beat.
Get over yourself already.  PS I fly on the weekends and bring your club. But hang on to it tight cause it just may come around and hit ya in the back on the head when you least expect it  :eek:  You're dismissed  :O

   After having had one good fight after another with Steve I feel like you have gone on long enough. If he says he can do something I believe him, I have seen his films and seen enough personally to respect his abilities. At this point I cant blame him for not wanting to duel you or post film, frankly I am surprised he is even still in this thread. The P-51 is capable of crazy seemingly impossible maneuvers if one only takes the time to learn them.
