A very weird thing happened to my squaddie AnglEyes tonight while landing the Dora! He bellied onto the runway, and his plane kept sliding along at 2 to 5mph and he had no rudder control, nothing. The plane continued to slowly slide along till he was off the runway! And he had 6 kills   :furious
The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

 of course there will be no rudder control at such a low speed.

 landing is over rated.  :aok

Did he keep his flaps fully extended?  Very light, low angle, full flaps, and a Dora will slide easily down 1/4-1/3 of the runway.

Which I doubt is the case, otherwise it is most likely he would of kept sliding after the runway ended until he hit something. 

-The Dora doesn't loose speed quickly, it retains it quite well.
-The Dora can slide a very good distance down the runway, especialy when light and with full flaps (or no flaps) down and with both wings attached.

Often times, when I have to land gear-up in my Dora, I will at some point (before I get too slow to loose most/all control from the surfaces) in the slide on the runway, intentionaly turn it 90-degrees so it will come to a faster stop at a place on the runway that I choose.  Otherwise it is very easy for it to slowly slide down the runway, to a point where you have almost no control because not enough air is passing over your control surfaces, while it will often still have enough E to slide just off the pavement to the sides of the runway.

i think that what they do at HTC's office, is to put everyones name in a hat. then once or twice a week, they pull a name out.
 that person then suffers weird stuff intermittently for the next week or so.  :noid

My name must get pulled a lot.
