I liked the second kill, especially where you took off the wing tip on the Spitfire. I am curious as to what that will do to the Spitfire's handling characteristics.

Nice video GW !

Loosing a wingtip makes the handling very "unstable". The airplane would still be flyable and a potential threat, but it feels like if the joystick was not coming back, you need to counter input left as much as you previously input right to cancel your roll rate. Also, under average to high load factor, the plane will tend to suddenly flip upside down.

Cutting the wingtip happens quite often when exiting the hangars too fast, and can go unnoticed. I would say it is probably the second cause of mortality during takeoff after forgetting to open the rad.

unfortunately Dex is correct - Id always hoped it would just improve my roll - rate lol :)

Well if you rip both off then you're just flying an underpowered Spit XVI :-P
