Does the horizontal stabilizer take damage or is it either on or off? Seems it could stand to lose much of its effectiveness yet still leave a plane at least semi controllable. As it is, when that puppie takes a hit, off she goes and the sortie is over.
Why does the P38L seem to flick roll so easily when at about 150 ias one notch flaps deployed nose up 5-15 degrees.
I would have thought it would be more stable until way down around 115-120 ias and then just a sloppy wingover into stall.
Then again, what do I know....
