that is true. These big warbirds have to be flown in, not idle throttle and glide it like the small little dinky airplanes.

G-Pete,
You could not be more right.
The bigger problem was the elevator to flap mixing was wrong and I had to approach holding about 30 degree down elevator. Not good for the flair.
Good news, all fixed and re-flown-on utube-Symes'p38 second flight.

btw, both engines run in the same direction...
