Flew my first mission in the SE 5A last night in a free for all dogfight, the fisrt confrontation was a head on shoot out against a Camel at short range, I took 9 damage in that one. I carried on to shoot down the Camel but when I took a further 3 and engine damage I thought that discretion was the better part of valour and flew home.
I believe that the flying characteristics of the SE 5A confused my opponents, the next time will be a different kettle of fish.
