Viffer,

If a 'porche' is a French lean-to on the side of a building, then you describe reasonably well the handling attributes of a Gazelle AH1 with all the gubbins attached. However, if you'd have let me get my hands on a Froggie SA342 avec HOT missiles, or maybe even a Yugo Partizan with SA7, then I might be a little more enthusiastic.

By the way, can anyone explain why UK MOD removed Stab from most of the Army's aircraft - when possession of said item would've made observation work quite bearable - but left it in the RN/RAF aircraft where it masked several of the effects students need to see (in-flow roll, for example)?

PS add Cadillac, Porsche, experience to the spoll chucker.
