easiest way i know is to download a cockpit repaint such as Freddy's P-51 Cockpit and swap out the pic from there with the one of your wife. thats what i did for my gf's pic.

Yeah i agree, i was just using it as an example. However if you are real careful at low speeds and use combat flap settings, its a good machine. Personally i like , not in any order, the P-39, P-40, Hurricane, Spitfire, FW190, Mosquito and a few others. But those are the ones i prefer to fly given a choice.

P-51 was designed for high altitude bomber escort.
Not designed for low level combat dog fights.
Hence, the perceived lack of performance.

yep, due to the laminer flow type wing. it hindered low altitude manuevering , but excelled at high altitude. which is where it was used most. if you read richard curtis's book " dumb but lucky" , he emphasizes that the US mandated 200 hours on the p-51 alone before it was to be flown in combat. a lot of great men died in that aircraft due to their lack of understanding, daringness or lack of skill while flying the p-51 "not" in combat. but in low altitude accidents.

* Moved to the right area.
And lads. Keep it to topic.
If you wanna bimble on about the 51's poor maneuverability, take to spray and pray please.
