Since I am awaiting the arrival of Microsoft's "Flight" before I buy a new machine my current one is underpowered for peak FSX performance. With that said, I was very pleased with with the quality for the price. A great aircraft indeed for the money but importantly........no frame rate hit. I just can't stand paying money for a download and then after loading it for my first flight only to realize the product is a frame rate killer. Not the case here at all. Two versions, W8 and W10 (W10 has more hp and speed. For the money? Can't go wrong, wish I bought it sooner.

A very nice little plane, it clims like a rocket and looks fantastic! As with Lionheart's Epic, any changes or omissions are quickly addressed, and the latest build plane is certainly a lot easier to handle now! Beautiful exterior and interior, everything that you want to work is there and it has some neat little extras that are above and beyond what many other sims would provide, especially at the fantastic price. If you like light GA but also want to throw in some longer distances (she is a speedy little thing!) or even some basic aerobatics this should be your ride! Very retro, very stylish and a stack of fun!4.5 out of 5!

An exquisite exterior model and beautifully textured VC are the highlights of this value for money package. Unfortunately, the downside is the flight model which is extremely flitty and wild. I fully appreciate this is an extremely light aircraft but even light aircrafts can be given smooth, realistically simulated airfiles. (For example, the RealAir Scout). This one definately needs some work. I look forward to the next version which will hopefully make these lovely little planes, nicer to fly.
