Value Disadvantages
	Limitations and Disadvantages
25	1)  Distinctive Features:  Warplane (Not Concealable; Extreme Reaction [fear])
15	2)  Physical Limitation:  Problems with Rudder and control designs (Frequently, Greatly Impairing)
	Notes:  Other problems were noted as well, notably a pitch instability and problems with 
	slideslip due to the rudder design.
10	3)  Physical Limitation:  Defective wood glue used for bonding parts (Infrequently, Greatly Impairing)
	Notes:  The factory in Wuppertal making the plywood glue, Tego-Film, had been bombed by 
	the Royal Air Force and a replacement had to be quickly substituted.
15	4)  Reputation:  Various Design Problems, not a plane for new pilots, 11- (Extreme)
	Notes:  The He-162 was originally built with the intention of being flown by the Hitler Youth, 
	as the Luftwaffe was fast running out of pilots. However, the aircraft was far too complicated for 
	anything but a highly experienced pilot.
15	5)  Social Limitation:  Design Restrictions (Frequently, Major)
	Notes:  The jet was to use cheap and unsophisticated parts made of wood and other non-critical 
	materials and, more importantly, could be assembled by low-skilled and non-skilled labor.
