The F-50 has evolved to a really nice aircraft. But there are still a few
issues that appear very strange to me:

1.) I need do accelerate the aircraft up to almost 200 knots before I manage
    to lift the nose. After this is done, the aircraft has an impressive
    climb rate (well, at over 200 kts ....).
2.) The aircraft needs a bit of damping. Every change of a control surface
    leads to excessive oscillation and it's really hard to get the plane
    back to straight flight.
3.) I know, you should not employ the flaps at 200 kts ....
    But if you do so, the aircraft climbs like attached to a high
    speed elevator  :-)

Please remember the standard disclaimer: I don't want to urge anyone to fix
this, these notes are only meant as an informal notice and I _assume_ it
would be worth fixing before the next release,

Martin.
