Warbirds fly different than other types of planes for sure. For example, my U-Can-Do floats in on landing often times I can goose the motor and sort of force it to fly. It does not tip stall and with that big thick airfoil will keep flying when other planes will fall from the sky. My P-40 needed to be flown in a more aggressive manner. more throttle and on landing I needed to keep the throttle idle pretty high then reduce to low when the wheels were just above the deck to land with the mains first.

Richard L has some excellent videos of his different planes and although I don't know him seems to be an exceptional warbird pilot.

Look at some of his threads and watch that video, I pattern my warbird flying after what I watch him and others do. It is truly a more skilled flying.

Can you rebuild you're spit? I am working on my P-40 rebuild, I hope you can get yours back in the air soon.
