Yep I have that one great manual. I read once a month with candlelight bubble bath. It is my romance book.

One of the most underused plaques there is.

It is an informative read for sure. It just blows me away how closely modeled it is in DCS!!

Twolate, glad to hear that you are in touch with your feelings.  :Rofl

I came across it trying to research G limits. I didn't find my answer there but did find it somewhere else.

.......the P38 and P-51 were designed to 8g limit and 12g ultimate but in each case that was linked to a specific gross weight. For the Mustang, limit load of 8G applied to 8,000 pound gross weight which was middle range for an XP-51 and P-51A. By the time the P-51D was operational a limit load for 10,000 pounds Gross weight was 6.4 G (8 x 8000/10,000).
