Default P-51 high speed handling problems

Thanks for the name check. It does really scoot but the handling characteristics are so honest that I don't seem to notice it even with less than optimal reflexes. On the ground I think, good grief that is a big motor. In the air I think, this is a nice airplane.

As far as the go-up-down-should I-wait thing goes, don't you hate it when it happens. I have almost trained myself to pull up and wait. You then just have to fly one loop radius high.
