    Great aircraft, love the different variants and paints! Only complaint was a glich that you still hear the sound of the engines at idle when their shut down. Other then that, love it!

    THIS PLANE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FUN TO FLY. IT HAS AN INSTALL FILE THAT IS REALLY A TREAT AND YOU CAN CHANGE THE COLORS IF YOU WANT. GOOD LOOKING PANEL AND REALLY NICE DETAIL. I WOULD PAY ABOUT $10 FOR THIS ONE.
