LW VS VVS PLANES at 4.10

[LoBiSoMeM]

The beautiful curve posted in Ernst chart is great to show how predictable a P-51 can be in some speed and G-load.

I like to notice that "accelerated stalls" occurs even in a Zero fighter.

But I can't stress more the point that in "old" P-51 we don't have just accelerated stall, we have the "unpredictable" stall and "crazy spin". Today we can still easily enter in a accelerated stall with the light inputs of P-51, or die entering in a flat spin.

And the plane is more stable in normal flight now. All other things remains the same.
