I've noticed this many times. I use this bug to some extent. This bug is easily produced when feathering the prop all the way using the (-) key at takoff. Then lower the hook and throttle up. You will accelerate back off the cv very quick. I use it to move as far back on the cv's deck when lifting with full load. That's the benifit, however, when landing with the hook down my plane will on occasion sling shot off the side of the cv. Doesn't happen a lot, but sucks when it does happen. :bhead

You know you can back a plane up on the cv by just cracking the throttle open.

On landing ive had it where I was slung off the Carrier and into the water, and after that I was slung out of the water. I have it recorded but it shows the CV in a different position than it was while in game.

Possibly one of the worst sticks in game.

Simple test. Spawn on the CV with auto take-off on. Lower the hook. Open throttle, just a bit. FOOOOOOOOOOOSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHH - off the carrier you go.

I always land with the hook on though, never been slingshotted. But I haven't tried taking off after rearming though.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

The best part is that it launches you backwards... Imagine if the 163 had a hook. :noid

So, just got to testing it, unfortunately the acceleration is always towards the reverse of the plane.  :(

Pigslilspaz,

Did you try landing backwards on the carrier?  I was just wondering if that made a difference.
