Suffered some major damage when I dive bombed a cv. At first I thought I was going down. The plane seemed to float. Then I had rudders but no elevators. So I started experimenting. Found that if I hit my flaps the nose went up and if I hit the landing gear the nose went down. So I could point with the rudder and control alt with the gear and flaps.

Most of the time I make it to base with this much damage, I just flop over and hit a tree.
Must have been a white knuckle experience.

It was tedious! Had keep it a slow speed to use the f6 landing gear. Couldn't get to steep either way or it was over. If I went to fast I hit flaps and rudder to slow down. Then would have to bring the gear down to go level again.
I flew like this for almost a full sector.

F-6 is a tough little bird. Looks like a fun ride.

Had an experience kinda like that. Not so much hair raising as odd.
Was trying to help take a port and our goon was coming in. A hog saw him and dove in with me on his 6 in a mossi.. I fired off a few rounds, missed the hog and clipped the goon. I did a 180 still chasing the hog when I noticed the plane felt a lil mushy. Looking around I saw that my vertical stabilizer was gone. "How am I still flying?" I thought to myself, expecting to slip and fall out of the air at any moment...
I had to be gentle but I managed to climb up and over the mountains and land safely. :) Gotta love the plywood plane. lol

Had a fun encounter like that today, (sadly no film but juggler and a few others saw), was furballing in orange in a mossie. Got 2 kills and climbed up outta.the melee not realizing I had juggler in his d40 on my tail 400 out. 50cals wrecked my plane, destroying my vert stab, holing my fuel, disabling 2 guns, tearing my left alieron off, and wounding my pilot. Amazed I was still in flight I nosed down to try and run, and lucky for me a random bish dropped on juggler pulling him off my devastated warbird. As I was flying further out of the carnage, surprised my aircraft was still in control, a very unlucky pony climbed d800 in front of me, stalled , and me figuring id never make it home, I nosed on and poured rounds out of my remainingguns and watched his wing rip off...my plane still flying, and my views reasonably clear of consi nosed on to the nearest friendly base and after roughly a sector of flight, made a white knuckled approach followed by a rough belly landing...amazingly I stayed on the tarmack, and landed my kills. Immidiately greated with pms and 200 chat amazed I limped my bird home....
This concludes story time :airplane:
Great fight everyone at 72, was a blast.....
