<P>Very Very cool. About the FP-45, if you say it can handel 18" curves, that is mighty fine with me. </P> <P>About the P-38...I would love details on it. BTW, I just realized another thing about the P-38. Even though you get the reliability of 2 engines, if you look at when the guy is flying it, you can see the props are spinning at diffrent speeds. I don't know much about 2 proped planes, but I know that had to be a PITA to fly strait, just using trim controls and not on the stick.</P> <P>As far as the FW190s, they were great planes. Now, Correct me if I'm wrong, the Me-262 was the German's first jet, not a rocket. I know what you're talking about, but I'm thinking it was called the Me-162...About the rockets though. They were fast as hell...for about 3 minutes. They were loaded with about 200 lbs of explosives in the front, so it was a suicide mission. When Hitler sent a good many into England(Like 2,000 or something like that), the English had come out with thier jet(Don't remember the name), so they could catch up with them, and stay with them. They were finding that shooting them down took too long, so they would fly next to them, and tip them over, and the rockets would spin into the English Channel. The Germans found this out, and they equipped the rockets with gyros, so when it was tipped, the rocket would flip back over.</P> <P>The Corsair was a good plane, however, the French didn't produce many...typical Frenchman, right? They expect us to help them, yet they don't help us...</P> <P>Anyways, I have been told the P-51 was hard to fly, but it was the fastest out there, and it was key to the bombings in Germany. Had is not been for the P-51 fighting off all those German planes with ease, since they were starting to run out of resources at that point, those bombers would have never been able to get into Germany and stop the war(By blowing the shit out of them).</P> <P>If you're wondering why I know so much about these planes, is that since I live in Central Florida, I live not too far from Fantasy of Flight, which is an awesome place, where there are about 160 planes, from WWI - Present Day that actually RUN. I have even seen THE ONLY P-40 Air Cobra that is air worthy fly, which was the "A" model(So no, the "C" model was not the air cobra). Very, Very cool.</P> <P>So let me know about the power pack.</P> <P>Thanks,<BR>Spit</P>
