Hello, folks.
I loved flying on the P-26. It's a rather outstanding aircraft. It's very maneuverable and the armament is very good. But I was surprised to not see the called "fuel starvation" when the aircraft makes negative-G turns (i.e., when you push the stick to dive). I used to think that all aircraft from that era suffered with this (including the I-16, the P.11, the I-153, Gloster Gladiator, between others). Or this aircraft (the P-26) was very advanced for its era, or there is another thing to be corrected to make this aircraft more historically accurate.
