Default P-51 high speed handling problems

If I remember from all those years back as I flew across the sun and as the model was lost for that moment I actually realized what was going to happen and pushed some down onto the stick thinking that it would go into an inverted climb but I guess I did that too late and when I saw it again it had actually looped over and was in the process of tucking down from a 70 degree dive into the bunt I was inputing. That's when I realized that I should just finish the loop but THAT decision took just a millisecond or two too long and I would have been better to bunt it out after all....

So all I got was a ZIG... ZAG... CRUNCH.....Boy, did I feel stupid....

Yeah, I HATE it when that happens....

Keep yours safe Ben, she's a classic !

.... Meanwhile, back to your regularly scheduled thread... :rainfro:
