I've done the Morrison Flip when inside the P47, and contrary to what I've heard others say, I managed to retain control after a while. I still don't know what is causing it, but it *may* be that the H-stab is rotated a bit from the punishment.

Thats the "Morrison Flip" on the dot. You know I do belive that I've seen that as well on other AC. But a long time ago maybe 5.2
or early in 5.3, but try some of the German AC close combat with the 47. And tell me what you think of the power of the cannons on the He100 as compared to others...

Origin: Ernst Heinkel AG
Type: Single-Seat Fighter
Engine: 1,175hp Daimler-Benz DB601 Aa inverted V12 liquid cooled
Dimensions: Span 30ft 10 3/4 in; length 26ft 10 3/4in; height 11ft 9 3/4 in
Weights: (D-1) empty 3,990lb; Max loaded 5,512lb
Performance: (D-1) maximum speed 416mph; service ceiling 36,090ft; range 559 miles

Undaunted by loss of the Luftwaffe's fighter orders to BFW with the 109, Heinkel proposed a much faster fighter, with structure completely different form the rather unimpressive He 112 to make it more efficient and much quicker and cheaper to build. The resulting Projekt 1035 was completed on 25 May 1937 and at the end of that Year the now-informed RLM sanctioned a prototype and ten pre-production machines. Heinkel managed to secure number "100" though this had been previously alotted to Feiseler. The first prototype flew on 22 January 1938, and was clearly oustandingly fast, being small and having a surface-evaporation cooling system instead of a draggy radiator. Though there were many problems, and Luftwaffe test pilots disliked the high wing loading, Udet himself flew the V2 to a new world 100km circuit record at 394.6 mph. On 30 March 1939 Hans Dieterle, flying the clipped-wing V3 took the world speed record at 463.92 mph. But the RLM saw no reason for mass production, and six prototypes were sold to the Soviet Union and three He 100D-0 to Japan, with armament of two MG 17 and a 20mm MG/FF. The remaining 12 He100D-1 fighters formed a Heinkel-Rostock defence unit, but in 1940 were publicised by Goebbels' propoganda machine in such a way as to convince Britain there was a fighter in large-scale service called the "He 113".

Although Messerschmitt's Bf109 had been adopted as the Luftwaffe's standard monoplane fighter in preference to Heinkel's He112 submission, Heinrich Hertel and Siegfried Gunter designed a new high-speed fighter with a design maximum speed of 435mph. It was also engineered for ease of production with few curves and the minimum number of parts and components. The resulting Heinkel He100a prototype made its first flight on 22 January 1938, powered by a Daimler-Benz DB601 engine with a special pressurised evaporative cooling system. A second prototype, with a DB601M engine, captured the 100km closed circuit landplane record on 6 June 1938, piloted by Ernst Udet. The aircraft was referred to officially as an He112U, to boost the reputation of the He112B sold to Japan and Spain. The third prototype, built for an attempt on the world absolute speed record, had reduced wing span, a more streamlined cockpit canopy and a boosted DB601 engine but it crashed in September and was replaced by the similar eight prototype. In this aircraft Hans Dieterle raise the record to 463.92 mph at Oranienburg on 30 march 1939. The fourth and fifth aircraft were designated He100B, prootypes six, seven, and nine were completed to He100C standard; the third of these was the first He 100 to be armed carrying two 20-mm MG FF cannon and four 7.92 mm (0.31in) MG17 machine guns.

Handling deficiencies revealed during service evaluation at Erprobunstelle Rechlin resulted in introduction of the He100D with enlarged tail surfaces and with a conventional, semi-retractable ventral radiator in place of the earlier enclosed system. It was armed with a 20-mm MG FF cannon in the nose and two 7.92-mm MG17 machine guns in the wings. Fifteen He100Ds were built, comprising three He100D-0 pre-production examples and 12 He100D-1 production aircraft, the latter being retained at Heinkels Rostock-Marienehe factory and flown by Heinkel staff pilots as a local Defence unit. As DB601 engines had been earmarked for Bf109 production, the He100 was not adopted for Luftwaffe use and the company was authorized to offer it for foreign license-manufacture. In October 1939 Japaneese and Soviet teams visited Marienehe and, as a result, three He 100D-0 aircraft were sold to Japan and six of the prototypes to the USSR. Proposed Japaneese production did not materialize.

What happens, they just cut your tail stab cables so you lose control and spin on your wing axis?

Hmm, this is interesting.

I have a theory about this (Bjorn?) ... I don't have the plane with me right now (work) .. But I have a sinking feeling that there is a damage property sitting in the tail somewhere, whee the damage causes an explosion but it's usually not enough to destroy the tail. The reason for the "Morrison-flip" is not unlike when your plane is buffeted by a near-explosion ...

Might have to peek into this ...

On at least the P47 the tail is completely "passive," by which I mean that there are no obExplode[s] properties in it. It doesn't explode at all. It's either there and works (although perhaps limited in functionality) or it detaches. The P47 *does* have a damage DOF for the horizontal stabs that allows them to be rotated around the X-axis, however. It *might* be that that happens. If they're rotated a few degrees counter clockwise (if viewed from the port side of the aircraft) it'd be as if you pulled the stick more than is probably possible.
