Agree. I’ve been reading across the web and have found “experts” who say the P-51 doesn’t use servo tabs and other that swear there are servo tabs on the P-51...

Well,, really we keep calling it a “P-51”. But in many ways, thats about like calling a NASCAR racer a “Chevy”. That is such a custom built machine that they could have chosen any type of control system for the elevators that they liked best for racing.

At least it sounds like we are sure to get an answer. The team knows what was on it, and the photos of the damage will explain a lot. That place has more professional photgraphers per square foot than we can guess.

There are likely to be some incredibly detailed photos of the crippled plane still to emerge for investigators.
