Ups, sorry! I didn't read carefully. I thought he's got some problem to fly that bird. I can climb almost more than 45degrees(!) steadily! Very forgiving aircraft (and one of the most beautiful, imho), only you must pay attention about the compressibility. That's all drawback of the Lightning, I think. For example the Fw190's cooked if it tries to outmaneuver me if I'm in a Lightning. And I don't use always the flaps... :wink: The other aircraft what I can fly so easily is the Ki-43 Hayabusa (Oscar), but only the 1st series, with large wingspan. But they are rather sport planes, than true fighters...
