I’m going to give it 5 stars because it’s just such a somewhat unusual aircraft. Additionally it has a great flight model, and aircraft textures are as usual, amazing. Great audio package and fun to fly.
A solid aircraft offered by the veteran prop team Carenado. A very detailed and relatively easy aircraft which has beautiful sounds. The Shrike is easy to control in taxi and in flight and is quite suitable for short or medium cross country trips and for bush flying missions. The panel has a dated and used look, which is unusual, but reflects the ruggedness of bush flying. The flying characteristics are very stable with or without the autopilot and the aircraft is very agile and responsive. The panel is a bit dark under natural lighting. Detailed bush airports would go fine with this aircraft. Flying just above the tree tops is tremendous fun in the shrike.
