Gents,
Since I'm starting to like P-51 I looked at the forum today and saw a P-51
test made by Sharfi. She pointed out that when P-51 looses wheel covers the
top speed is reduced by 118 kph. It is quite unbelievable. If you don't
know that you lost your wheel covers in a dive you may be surprised that
you cannot catch a Heinkel in a climb ;).
Whole story and test results here:
