A push-me, pull-you semi-tailless dive-bomber which should only attempt to bomb from the shallowest of dives. Maintain back pressure throughout takeoff roll up to rotation (which happens at 250mph+ if it happens at all) to avoid deadly noseover. Use activation group 1 to drop the 2x500 bombs from a safe height and not during a high G turn. Don't be fooled by the high landing speed: this plane loses speed very quickly after touchdown, so smooth, shallow and fast is the way to put it down.
