Difficult to answer, just this, which has been written : =>About the only significant short coming of the Lightning was spin/.stall recovery, which could be a bear, especially at low altitude. That's is why this film cautions strongly against entering a spin below 10,000'<= you can read that here. http://zenoswarbirdvideos.com/P38.html?gclid=CM3ixPSXgo0CFQNNZwodE3aoPA In addition to when i tried to tune the FDM i was surprised by that high value wing loading: 53 lb/sq-ft given with an average weight loaded 17500 lbs (empty weight 12500 lbs). cheers -- Gérard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
