P38vsLA7 I Agree with a couple points ack-ack makes, but he is biased for the 38! One point is keep the LA low under 10k after 10k it performence drops consideribly. the LA has insane speed, and awesome high speed monuvering the 38 can not keep up or handle the speeds at which the LA can easily achive, LA has zero compressability issue's...so depending on initial attitude of planes will depend on what one does in a LA7 to kill the 38 if the 38 has altitude advantage, take the LA into a shallow dive to get her up to speed and get some distance to get above the 38, once there, its short work to get in behind the 38, if the LA has the inital advantage of altatude, depending on what 38 driver does, if he drops to excape, LA easily gets in behind and kills him, (38 is a nice big fat target) the only advantage the 38 has is in the ability to hang on its prop in a stall, and with a great stick it can turn quite well, so can the LA and it dont take a great stick, LA is one of the very best in hanger.
