    ....Perhaps the Swept-Wing design is what is getting you...you gotta use a little tenderness! The F-100 is INDEED fast, but that does not mean that it is the best furball machine. If you wish to turn fight, do it at higher speeds, and DO NOT overload the aircraft. when you pull, remember that the F-100's stall speed is right around 150kts, pretty high for ANY real dogfighter. So, when flying in a fight, try not to turn when below corner speed (~400kts). I also have found that staying away from over 5G's in any maneuver at airspeed tends to keep the aircraft from bleeding energy. Of course, if you are below corner speed, it would behoove you to load the aircraft even LESS during maneuvers... If you indeed should overload a Hun, you will see the wing lose airflow, stall and go in to a spin. What's happening is that the top wing in the turn is losing airflow and energy FASTER than the lower one, causing the aircraft to roll in the opposite direction while going into the spin. To counter this, take it a little easier with the back pressure on the stick, and use some rudder in the direction of the turn that you are doing. You will soon see how quickly you can bleed an F-100's energy in a fight, it will help you to manage it more efficiently.
