February 19, 200521 yr Slow Rolls in High Performance Prop FightersDudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots FellowshipWith the entry of the Realair Griffon Mk 14 Spitfire into the WW2 military market for MSFS, a whole new world of flight experience is now possible in MSFS for those sim pilots interested in this area of aviation.

February 19, 200521 yr Thanks Dudley, a great tutorial :-) I remember when I was flying RC and learning slow rolls. My god was that a challenge (still have difficulty).I've been practising for a while now in various aircraft and I always find it a challenge. You're tutorial has brought some thing to light (such as the visualisation of the D) and I'm sure will be put to good use on future attempts.Again, thanks for sharing your wonderful knowledge!Cheers,James
