RE: How do you fly your planes?
Anyone ever tried doing aerobatics to music, with headphones? Pick a nice, sweeping sound track with full orchestration and lots of strings, and you will soon discover a whole new way of flying.
I learned this trick with a .40-size GP P51 that I used to like to throw around the sky in a most unscale-like fashion. Then, one day a guy turned me on to flying to music, and suddenly my maneuvers were breathtakingly graceful. The loops ate up most of the sky, rolls were slow and surprisingly axial, and even my hang maneuvers had an aspect of transcendental grace to them. I didn't even realize I was doing it, until after I got back to the pits, and my buddy said "Man, I didn't know that Mustang could fly so SCALE!!" Changed my whole outlook on flying that plane.
