What a pleasure it is to fly the DHArco2.. of course it flies a bit a like a dog, (my joystick.. an oxymoron! see whining posts) but isnt the view wonderful? Open scenery and sky and it seems almost unfair to keep shooting them down when they have the disadvantage of barely being able to see anything.. like flying a letter box. Of course you mustnt let them get behind you but their guns arent synchronised to your engine..

Oh well.. just a bit of whimsy.. but I think there's something to it.. I think a major reason for 'spinning it' as often as I do is that as the target goes out of sight behind the wing the temptation to tighten up the turn, or pull up the nose, is almost irresistible and .. up goes the angle of attack , in goes the rudder, and down I go...
Whereas in the DHdog, its easy to keep track of it (180 deg) even without Trackir and after a bit of sensible turning... bang bang.. of course it's not going to work with the hares but for rabbits its fine...:kilroy:
 
That's the way! you're learning your aircraft, your enemy and tactics. Welcome to the skies over France. :ernae:
 
There's only one bird, less responsive than the DH2, the Short Seaplane

But on the DH2, upper wing, center is a 7 gallon tank of fuel. The Gods of battle, wanted (for some reason) a seperate source of fuel, to allow landing under power, after the main tank is holed.

At least they didn't Letter it . . . Aim Here :d
 
Thanks for the 'welcome' response cpirrmann.
