The last, privately-owned, D-520 was lost in an accident in 1983 after appearing at severalair shows, but I can't find any footage of it with sound.
I would love to be able to supply charts, pictures or data but it looks like I've managed to loose all the info I had about this plane. All I can send you now is positive vibrations lol.
Best of luck, this plane means so much to many of us and it is long overdue.
According to the very litte info I still have, it looks like the first production units may have been prone to frequent breakdowns. During Pierre Le Gloan's legendary 15th of June mission, both his wingmen had to break engagement and return to base, the first one due to a problem with his propeller speed controls and the other because his guns jammed after just a short firing pass on a Falco. I'm not sure this will help you though...
Cheers
Nico
