Focke-Wulf FW-190 Anton 500-meter Split-S Manoeuvre.

• 1. Fly at a desireable speed, preferably between 100 and 300 knots. With 300 knots you will need about 620 meters room above the ground however due to the extra speed.

  2. While trying to maintain a straight line, trim your elevator up to around 40-50%

  3. Roll inverted, and relax the stick. You may need minor rudder adjustments.

  4. Pay attention to the ground. Reset the trim once your attitude has past the horizon and recover. You will find yourself a little slower but if a manoeuvrable enemy tried to follow you into the split-S (e.g. F6F) they should crash into the ground due to G-overload and/or control locking.

  5. After recovering from the G-load, get your guns on enemy ASAP. This manoeuvre would be wasted else-wise because the event results in you bleeding about half of your relative energy that will require about 35 seconds to recover the energy lost.
