RE: just bought my spitfire!!
2 slow, Very well put. You are exactly right. I was treated to a fly of a beautiful P-40 yesterday, IN THE AIR!! with a co-pilot installed. Big help IMHO. I did fly the P-40 much better than I had just flown my Trainer, Trainer flight was a real dissapointment for me. I was really bad, I flew it much better last week[&:]. Still in need of lots of practice obviosly. The point is, neither Bear nor Myself were silly enough to think I was gonna land that Warbird. I would love to have one someday, probably the F4U Corsair, but that day is along way off.
Luke, I know it's very tempting to go after the cool looking ones right off the bat, I did it myself, Cap 232, Edge 540, 3D Yak. I got em all. Sitting there waiting for me to catch up to them. Sooner or later you're gonna have to do a u-turn like I'm in the process of doing right now. If I ever get this darn Trainer mastered, I'm going to the 4* sixty next.
Like John said nobody escapes the rungs on the latter. Been there, crashed that!! Mark T.
