P-38 Techniques

Thank you, gentlemen!

All the various explanations did help. I hope the original OP has gotten some use out of this discussion as well.

Here's an old video I made that demonstrates dual throttle control in a P-38.

I was going back through this thread.  FLS, I have to say that video is impressive and exhilarating and humbling.

Thanks.

The key to rotating on the yaw axis is just going slow enough to fall instead of fly. The P-38 is well suited to going slow without torqueing off until you want it to.
