What? edit

 "A problem with overbalance of the auxiliary wings was eventually solved by raising the height of the tail fin. "

What does this mean? "Auxiliary wings"? My guess is that this is taken from an computer-translation of the Japanese wiki page, and it should actually read "horizontal stabilizer", and refers to trim problems, or maybe issues with the controls being too sensitive.

You're probably right about a bad machine translation.
A great many designs of the '30s and '40s had too little control at the vertical stabilizer because of the cockpit "greenhouse" causing turbulent air behind it. It was fairly common for the prototype vertical stabilizer to be increased in size or shifted upward to a cleaner air flow. Binksternet (talk) 06:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
