Re: Why DB-3f is counted as one of the old types on 22 June 41?

Thanks a lot, Mirek!
This time my guess wasn't too far away. Last time I made my guess on purpose to conservative side, and the result was that my guess was way too small, so this time I made my guess a bit high side, and got better result!

On DB-3 and -3f, Finns thought that both were stable and in both cases control forces were high. DB-3f was also rather tail heavy. IIRC the British S/L? who testflied one DB-3f in 1941 or 42 in Russia, also noted the rather marked tailheaviness.

Thankfully
