I often times find myself returning to this little bundle of joy that is the Azurpoly BD5. It is a very accurate representation of an iconic aircraft, that includes everything promised and then some. The Bede BD5 certainly isn't and F-16, but I think that makes it unique. You have to be smart and improper handling might dish you some consequences. I really enjoy the smoke system and canopy animations, both add to the immersion and make it feel very real. Not to mention it is very light on FPS and I can run usually +10 FPS than on the default planes. Overall great plane. I will be considering future purchases from Azurpoly.

I bought this aircraft on a hunch that I might enjoy it. I am generally a 737 guy but this has really made me appreciate how the old guys did it back in the '50s and '60s. I have just done a quick little VFR flight in it, no startup just from runway to runway. Flies great, I love the extra touches with the callouts and little clipboard. Over the coming days I am hoping to look through the manuals and start doing VOR-VOR navigation and eventually full flights. It is certainly going to be a challenge. External model and internal model are both great quality, no issues.

Overall, I'm a fan! Its definitely got some quirks (mainly just the A/P functions) but generally really good for the price. I really do hope they fix the ground handling, because it does get a bit squirmy in winds.

Very good little bird! I very much enjoy flying this Amphibious Ultralight around... well... everywhere! It sure is an interesting addition to my hanger and will definitely be a keeper. PROS: - Very high quality textures - Flight model seems on point for an aircraft like this - Looks beautiful - Literally stalls at 15 knots CONS: - It seems a bit heavy with the propeller torque, but I'm going to assume that it is just because of how light the plane is NOTES/QUESTIONS: - What is the service ceiling? I have found that slewing up to about 8000 feet warrants some great views, but I'm not sure if that's very realistic. If you are looking to buy this product, I highly recommend it. Just know what you are getting into, its not very fast and it is definitely a unique plane. Thanks BlueMesh!
