If you are short on time please read bolded section
After answering questions about airfoils at the request of @PapaKernels I realized the community needs to know about the game we all play as well as aviation itself. I want to quickly disclaim the objection that I am too arrogant. While this may be the case, why only pick out me? Other people do this kind of thing too, and I think I should give the community knowledge it needs above all else. I have also created a twitch channel recently and so I figure I should stream some SP there. So, submit all the questions you have, as well as things you want to point out related to
Things people ignore in SP and aviation.
Obviously I don't know everything and I am not a professional SP player, nor am I a professional pilot, gamer or coder in general. I just do what I am interested in. I will bring up subjects and answer the questions to the best of my ability but I apologize if I don't understand something.
I have many motivations for choosing this subject. From the type of wing airfoil to some hidden xml modding in parts like rotators, there are many things that the average player does not know about SP.
I may have broken rules in doing this. In this case please let me know. I will also not put a link to my twitch channel here just to avoid being accused of advertising. If enough people are interested in watching the stream live I will put the link later. In any case, please put in questions you have in the comments and I will see what I can do later this week. Thank you.
Want to post a question or a feature showcase? Take a look at the list so far to avoid repeat requests.
PS I will obviously post a replay.
PPS If people are interested I might do this again.

@PapaKernels that is noted. I will put your plane on the list
@FeiWu all I care about is how it flies. It flies kinda wonky and I dont know why, I only want to know why it flies so wonky and weird.
@PapaKernels sorry. If you have a particular question then maybe I can answer it. I don't even know much about early prop planes anyway.
Seems cool
Wow I actually made someone do something. I have a t-6 Texan I did and its flight was kinda wonky, do you know why? I tried for like 2 hours trying to fix it and nothing worked. I can link it but it should be at the top of my featured.
@UltraLight oh ok I get it now
@FeiWu yeap, maybe give a description on your rating
@UltraLight so I just rate the flight model on a scale of 1-10?
@FeiWu click link, click download, click the white triangle over a blue backdrop in the bottom-right corner, then rate your overall experience on a scale of 1-10. Consider realism and fun-ness
@UltraLight elaborate on the first question plz? what is the 1-10 flight model?
3) is there a small component of adverse roll when adding yaw? I know the plane will typically roll right with right rudder, and vv, but is there a small battling component?(because the rudder is on top of the plane, pushing air right, meaning the top of the plane should be pushed right. Which happens, but the strength of this force is above the CG)
2) what is the max-ish AoA to have without stalling? (Assuming perfect air conditions, very big/good slats, etc)
@UltraLight sure what are them
1) how realistic is my flight model 1-10 (shameless plug)
However, I have some questions
TL;DR
