ufo - UFOS at close sight: the german Horten planes: "The world famous german test pilot Hanna Reitsch flew it near Berlin in November 1938, and wrote a quite negative report:
Comfort: Mediocre
visibility: Poor
entry/exit: Athletes only
instrument panel: Fair
gear operation: Only possible for long armed pilot's
steering friction: Unacceptable
takeoff: Stick all the way back to break ground
landing: Simple, with good glide path control
stability: Difficult to assess, since the stick remains where it is put due to friction
pitch response: Normal
roll control: Unfriendly, some flutter in turbulence.
