Following on from my qustion about the E3 speed...

I'm slowly coming to grips with the ATA/revs/pitch conundrum. For what it's worth I like the way the prop pitch lever works now. I say slowly as sometimes I just don't get it! Is the trick for maximum speed to just set ATA to about 1.4 then keep the revs at about 2,300 and slowly decrease pitch (allowing the revs to pick up again each time) until the revs start to drop without going back up again? EDIT: just re-read Winger's first post in the thread and it seems this is what he means.

Also, if I use full elevator immediately I get an instant stall. I know all about high speed stalls and so on but it just seems too quick for me - the same happens if I pull a sharp tune but then I can see the speed plummet. At the moment there's no way I can pull a sharp turn to get a snap shot off.

I've dampened down the axis settings to 80+ but it doesn't seem to make any difference when I'm using full elevator. I also find that it's very hard to fly the plane at low speeds. I'm making an assumption that the FM is correct and it's just learing to refly that's key - is this correct?

I also find it very hard to hit anything with the cannons - must get in closer I think.
