Didn't it have a lot of auto stabilization turned on in xplane?
I recall seeing that and how it wallowed around.

Wierd coincidence, I was just flying that plane last nite on X-Plane
and it did the same to me when I was trying to take-off. Don't know
why, could have been anything since I didn't bother to understand any

loss of life. I understand that the Marines used "Sim City" to plan
the invasion of Bagdhad.

Hopefully, he'll get the airplane back in the air and we can.....

Oh, never mind, I can't do it with a straight face.
