At 4G......110 kts is OK and preferrable. At 3G, you can get it to float
over
at 80 to 90 kts. Also, just depends on how long the G pull is sustained
during
the ride up, as well.

At OSH each year, where you get to see a variety of WWII fighters doing
fly-bys during the Warbird show, I've noticed that some Mustang pilots are
considerably less aggressive on the pull-up and wing-over than others. I've
often wondered if this is a limitation of that particular aircraft, or if
that particular pilot is simply taking it a bit easier on himself and the
bird.

The most aggressive pull-ups I've seen are with that red Corsair racer and
the Bearcats. Their vertical penetration (and ability to sustain the climb
through the top of the half-loop) is most impressive.

I always kinda feel sorry for the occasional P-40 and early naval fighters
that participate, since they obviously can't keep up with you guys... :-)

As always, I (for one) appreciate you discussing this on-line with us Spam
canners...
