... and have a couple questions:

1) While the V-1 had control surfaces and was technically capable of turning, the autopilot couldn't manage anything other than straight-line flight. No matter how much I jack up the Limited Maneuverability limitation, I can't get rid of being able to make one 60 degree turn at some point during the flight. Should I be using a custom limitation, or just take Limited Maneuverability up to - 1 1/4 (close enough to the flight time) and put the "no turning" note into the description?

2) How big a limitation would you give a flying vehicle that cannot take off under its own power? And would it be a regular Phys Lim or a limitation on its Flight?

1. That's not a Limitation on the plane, it's a Limitation on the autopilot. If you're not buying the autopilot separately, I'd just give the plane a 0-point Physical Limitation and call it a day. :)

2. If an aerial Vehicle cannot leave the ground under its own power, it can take a -1/4 Limitation on its Flight.
