Your Enstrom 280 is by far my favorite aircraft but it has a couple of minor glitches. I don’t know if they are just part of the model or if I’m doing something wrong. Rotor RPM And Fuel Pressure annunciator lights. Also, the engine temp display is labeled “clock.” Also, I am having trouble logging in to your site. Thanks.
By the way, I am enjoying the helicopter so much that next month I will be taking my first lesson on a real one.
