• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

A2A Aerostar news

Yes me too - flew them for real once upon a time. The electric nosewheel steering was a pain but manageable and the wing spar step over for the rear seat pax could be a pain as did the pilot side clam shell door. A really good performer was 3 minutes behind a King Air 200 block to block over 450 nm once - impressive. Handled ok on one engine as long as you did not let the speed drop below VMCA. A real pocket rocket enjoyed every minute in the Aerostar. Interestingly the ailerons, rudder and elevators are all identical air foil surfaces. Ted Smith designed it unfortunately the type had an unhappy series of builders ending up with Piper at the end. A great machine IFR VFR just hooted along.

Checked it out at A2A coming along nicely and will be for P3DV5 - excellent news.
