    Macchi C.205 Vs. A6M5

    I think the Macchi is better since it was much faster had a much better armament with more ammo (compared to the original a6m5, not its variants which had even worse flight performance). It has a Competitive (not better) climb rate and turns time compared to the a6m5 but the Macchi has a...

    How should I build these ailerons

    So I am building a wooden RC Macchi 202. I finished the wing and looked at the instructions and realized I forgot the ailerons. I am thinking of cutting out two long strips of balsa and connect them to the wing supports (with the ones in between getting glued onto the balsa. OR I can glue small...

    Italy's airforce

    Here is my "what if" scenario....... Italy had not surrendered and were able to build the Reggiane Re.2005, Fiat G.55, and the Macchi C.205 in great numbers. Air superiority by the allies would have been in question and could have affected troop movement.
