A6M2: When wings are both gone the fuel still leaks from those fuel tanks then switches to the center tank.
C47: I was at near max speed, trimmed for level flight but flying manually. I engaged autopilot when already near-level and the entire plane shuddered up and down for about 1.5 to 2 seconds before assuming auto-level. I didn't think much of it. Later in same sortie, same situation appeared and it repeated itself.
CV: CV now runs at 40mph. Too fast for torps? Use to be around 30mph, per sitting-on-deck-bringing-up-E6B tests. Now is an even 40mph. Railing around elevator deck seems to be a crash hazard. Elevator would be UP and railing RETRACTED during operations. Should not be there as a penalty to those taking off or landing. Ship wake often looks curved even though ship is heading straight
P-39D: I rolled a P-39D with a centerline bomb, so I lowered 2 notches of flaps to help my takeoff. I could barely take off. I had to level out (I had forgotten I lowered them) and was barely able to maintain level flight. In auto climb It took me over a minute to reach 500 feet. Plane creates more lift WITHOUT flaps??? Perhaps some sort of bug at work. These are not very efficient flaps historically, but they should at least be like a p40 or spit, where the split flap adds lift. Seems no benefit at all in P-39D when most needed (heavier load). EDIT: Did 2300+ fpm once flaps retracted, almost instantly.
