Moonbeam McSwine & Glamorous Gal

Featured Replies

Been getting into a bit of P51 flying of late.

And what a learning experience it's been 🙂

The A2A P51 Civ might have nicer instruments than the Mil version, but it certainly is a beast to fly and very unforgiving where most of my flights have been ending up in the maintenance hanger as complete overhauls.

Speaking of being a beast to fly, does anyone have any hints on stall recovery ?

Most of the time I seem to end up in a unrecoverable flat spin,not all but most...

Glamorous Gal, some mighty fine paintwork.

Moonbeam McSwine, there are a number of Moonbeam repaints, this is one I found where the cockpit has also included a degree of repainting.

The cockpit, differences include more black and the white handle on the right, normally red.

Lining up for landing.

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

A heavy landing where the gear collapsed and yet another raise on jacks and full overhaul.

After a taking a break I migrated the FSX-SE P51 racer series, nowhere near as hard to fly as the A2A variety.

Cool shots!  I had this in P3D and it was the absolutely most difficult plane to fly.

Thanks @Jack_Sawyer and @andy1252

I found some info on stall recovery in a post on A2A and in the crash report of an actual P51 that had stalled @ ~7,700 feet and did not recover.

It seems a lot of height is needed to recover - up to 9,000~10,000 feet

Cheers

A final Moonbeam
