Nice work Mike. I still haven't managed to master that yet. As you say, it's a pig to keep straight at slow speed.

A little history lesson here.....The Corsair was designed for the US Navy but had major issues when landing on a carrier, mostly because of the lack of forward view upon landing due to the long nose/cowling. So it was put in front line service with the Marines, with much success, and when all the bugs were worked out, it was re-intoduced to active service withe the US Navy, British Fleet Air Arm, and the RNZAF with fantastic results, as it was arguably the top fighter in the Pacific Theatre............Mike

Thank you Tony.........the only thing that is default on my F4U is the airfile, aircraft CFG, and model.......I upgraded the panel, sounds, textures including the prop which is now a proper Hamilton and effects........Mike
