Well for one thing you need to have full power, also you need to pull back on the stick, also get rid of all your excess weight, you know like beer cans, radios, un needed instruments, animals, extra guns and whatever else you have in your plane.

Sry, couldn't resist lol, I'm home now and rested up lol lol

When I wanto to fly high, I do the following:

1 - drop bombs;
2 - get full throttle;
3 - point my plane's nose to the sky, with the plane's longitudinal axis at 90 degrees from horizontal;
4 - at this point, I am holding my tablet with both hands, above my head, as if I was taking a snapshot of the roof; then, to make the plane go up faster, I PUSH MY TABLET TOWARDS THE ROOF. I shake it, up and down, pushing the device upwards.
My arms hurts, but it works. In less than 10 mintues, I reach 3000 meters.

And it works pretty well when holding your little girl?
Daddy gets her up to 3000ft?

You know how I never debate the physics of this game...cough cough.. but here is the reality.

Laden plane flies at approximately 80 mph depending on plane of ascent, but that's nearly straight up.

80 miles per hour = (80 x 5280 feet in a mile) 422,400 feet per hour

7,040 feet per minute

117.33 feet per second

to climb 2,000 feet should take 17 seconds.

Maybe the airspeed is in KPH; in that case substitute 1.609 K per Mile.

And it goes without saying that the planes are JUST AS FAST AS THEY USED TO BE. It's perception that the larger planes don't fly, spin, dance and evade like smaller ones did, all an optical illusion.

So why have you got a thermometer stuck in your mouth Longrifle?

Ran out of cigarettes, so I light a thermometer. *draws hot mercury, exhales toxic fumes*

I've noticed there are key angles that mean you don't bleed speed, sometimes I manage to hold those angles and I race up, other times I drift slightly and either drop speed, or start dropping my nose.
