Very fun plane to make.Yes Very detailed cockpit feel free to use the tiny cockpit bracing on your planes just give me credit. For takeoff hold pitch down and full power around 120mph you will take off and done. For Landing go super slow at at speeds less than 100mph best speed for me was 80mph but dont go too slow or you will nose over..Here is some info from Wikipedia. The Aichi E13A (Allied reporting name: "Jake") was a long-range reconnaissance seaplane used by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) from 1941 to 1945. Numerically the most important floatplane of the IJN, it could carry a crew of three and a bombload of 250 kg (550 lb). The Navy designation was "Navy Type Zero Reconnaissance Seaplane" (???????).

In China, it operated from seaplane tenders and cruisers. Later, it was used as a scout for the Attack on Pearl Harbor, and was encountered in combat by the United States Navy during the Battles of Coral Sea and Midway. It was in service throughout the conflict, for coastal patrols, strikes against navigation, liaison, officer transports, castaway rescues, and other missions, along with some kamikaze missions in the last days of war.
