DerAdler,

You fly?
I'd love to fly but now have 5 kid$ - oldest is dangerou$ly clo$e to collage age.
Dream of owning uber DynAero fading fast...
Flown a friends C152 more than FAA would like (no worry - he was with me)
Landings scare the cr@p outta me.

Yes I have a PPL but I rarely fly. It is quite difficult to fly over here in Germany when you dont own your own aircraft. I would love to own my own Cessna one day and maybe even a float plane when I am in Alaska.

I also was a UH-60 Blackhawk Crew Chief for the last 6 years in the Army before I got out a few months ago. Racked up 1500 hours of flight time in the Crewchief/Gunner seat (not exactly flying the helicopter though, but still hella fun).

Is is just as much fun when you are a passenger? Nope. Same reason I like to drive myself.

It is a controled crash....

The rule of thumb is to keep your landings the same number as your takeoffs.

YEP - I love doing short field landings - the shorter the better! I just about get a woody when I plant one on the numbers!

I prefer touch and goes in a fast bird open cockpit with a long approach

You mean the "excitement" I'd presume ?? Can't imagine getting shot down being fun !

So just because you fly means you might get shot down? Im talking flying in general not just military flying.

Aah, ok, thought you meant military flying since you mentioned respawning took all the fun away.

pretty quiet right now with winter and a grass field (he has his own airport )there isn't any flying

Some good info there.

You missed a good couple of things Chinny;

The 109G uses a different engine generally with more power and a different ability to withhold engine RPM. And then there's the entirely different propeller - not just the positioning of it.

The Buchon also mounts guns in its wings which causes interference drag, the original 109s' didn't.

Btw, the different and larger front end adds alot of drag believe it or not, adding alot of bulges to the airframe: http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contributions/Dietsch/3972L.jpg

That big bulge under the engine caused by the oil-cooler actually creates alot of turbulens under the fuselage.
