A1R DESIGN BUREAU - A1R RYAN ST-A SPECIAL MSFS

Just found this and installed it. This is probably one of my favorite aircraft (back when I was flying, there was a PT-22 at the airport that I drooled over). Never flown one, but I do have around 2000 hrs. in Citabrias, Super Cubs, and a Stinson 108, and loved flying tail draggers. I did move the empty CG up a bit in the flight_model.cfg file, as it was quite pitch sensitive with the very aft CG, and I couldn't get the CG within limits with a 140 lb pilot without almost full fuel. I'm using: empty_weight_CG_position = 0.9, 0, 0 (Again, never flown one, so not claiming this is more accurate for a real one, but seems that it would be balanced to be fairly nose heavy empty, if it is going to work with a single pilot in the rear seat). Once I did this, it was a joy to fly, and it looks great! I flew for a small charter company back in the '80s, so it is nice to find some aircraft with an analog panel.
