Subject: Re: RE: Pietenpol-List: Frank Pavliga's Piet/ Barnstorming documentaryJust finished 633 squadron. I enjoyed it. However, I find it interesting that theMosquito must have had the aelerons attached so that they worked opposite ofany plane I have been in. If the pilot input a right roll then the plane rolledleft. and vice versa. The only time they seemed to respond correctly was whena navigator pulled the dead pilot off of the yoke and rolled the plane intothe target! It also did it when a pilot of a mosquito on fire rolled into thetarget. Also I had no Idea that the ME 108 Taifun (a four seat liaison plane related tothe ME 109 fighter) was fast enough to catch a Mosquito and could maneuver likea fighter. My grandson and I watched it togather and It held his interest and mine. So I waspretty Happy. Blue Skies and thanks for the link. Steve D ----- Original Message -----
