how were the stall characteristics? sudden stalls at  high speeds/g load, similar to P-51?
manoevrability mediocre?

What nice surprise for Friday PhiHL! You never know what you'll find when you hit replies to your messages around here!

I expect people around the globe are blowing dust off old books or searching their drives for that gem of a flight curve they downloaded four years ago just in case!

If you have no luck , try posting over at C6 or have one of the SAS Niemen do it for you.

It will be great to see this plane hit the French Singles board very soon.

Thanks so much for your work.

from the links of leperemagloire :
- high torque form the engine, so dangerous take off
- weight on the front of the aircraft, tendency to dive hardly corrected by trimming
- doesn't glide well
- good maneuverability in the horizontal plane, probably limited in the vertical plane because underpowered

[David Prosser]

Thanks JFC=PhilHL. We certainly want it. Much the same way a junkie wants a fix.

Totally agree.    Nice one =JFC=PhilHL 

[crazyflak]

If you want I can release them here as alpha version?!

Oh mama!!! Yeeesss!!! (ps: what is left to do at this stage?)

This looks like another cool aircraft for the IL-2. I like those classic prop-driven machines.
I don´t think I have much on WW2 aircraft from France in my book collection, but I will check. If I find something
worth using for this airplane I will post the book for you guys to use.
