I have to appreciate you created these bug reports and keep my fingers crossed they’ll not just collect dust 
As for the flight model, I can add that this rendition of Dakota is very slippery and does not want to bleed the speed when trying to configure it for traffic pattern and landing. Also, it seems to be really agile in the turns as the turn radius is very tight.
Neve flown a Dakota IRL but did a number of other models of the P28A family.
I will not be creating bug reports for the two issues above. I think for a gifted mod, it is all OK. Also, of all the bug reports I have ever submitted I let you make a guess how many of them were ever addressed
