This is based on the Spitfire.
That is to say it has similar statistics and is why I named it this. Note I said 'similar', not same.
It will go toe to toe with BoganBoganTheMan's Spitfire Mk Ia and not immediately get shot out of the sky.
A good fun little 'knife fighter'.
Controls as per usual, flies slightly nose up as it picks up speed, but nose down any other time.
WARNING!!!!!
I have just discovered something odd with this aircraft.
The faster it goes the MORE maneuverable it gets.
Currently it tops out around 370 mph at 16k+ feet.
I increased the horsepower and was doing around 600 mph and made a tight turn to go chase an aircraft.... or I tried to.
The plane turned so hard it almost folded itself in half, stalled and went into a flat spin.
Lesson learned!
