Hey this is a great little plane with some nice touches!

I took it for a hop around the pigsty and first thing I noticed was the 4 helmeted heads in the front cockpit - thats a passell of people for a bird like this - and that their heads turned in synch with rudder inputs, so they're always looking into the turn (now if they just made something like that for motorcycle passengers).

Then I realized that 4 heads also means 4 stomachs up in front.......so a GENTLE hand on the stick is required unless the pilot wants the windscreen in front of him to double as a puke shield...

Setting it down on the runway from VC mode was extremely rewarding....the big engine and taildragger setup limit forward visibility a lot, as do the 4 heads in the forward cockpit....and they also make you feel a little pressured to get 'em down safe and sound.

I charged 'em 50 cents per head, and am lookin' forward to recoupin' the $40 I lost on the helo flight to Mt. Hood pretty quick using this plane!

NICE - I give it two frogs up!
