Hi David, thanks for the reply (been a long time since we did our 1 v 1 sessions....fond memories!)
If it is an FM change then I guess I will have to adapt. I noticed a few 109s suffering too.
Its just so sudden! A wee bit of input and the turn has degenerated into a haplessly downwards exit from the fight. I hate stalling and never do it on purpose.
Mind you, these stalls seem to have life preserving properties - either that or they feel sorry for the 'noob' and decide I need the extra flying time......
