Yeah...I heard the same thing... but I could never figure out why this would happen . I can imagine it to happen at a go-around due to sudden torque effects... but I heard that the problem was mostly while landing on the carriers.
I understand that landing brings you close to stall speed...but why would one wing have this before the other one? prob because of the ugly looking wings
