Another Sale (Carenado)

this may just bring me my very first carenado aircraft...which one do you guys recommend?
I have a weakness for the V-tail..
 
Jan,

A very strong recommendation for both the Mooney M20J and Bonanza. So get your V-tail!

(Note that all their FSX aircraft are built to a high standard. So your choice might be guided by the particular type of General Aviation aircraft that you want to fly.)
 
Their V35 is my most-flown since I bought it. It's a little bit of a trim challenge, but it's a rocket. I'd buy it again for sure.
 
If you click on each aircraft it will take you to the discription page and it will show you the original price which is lined out and then the sale price.

Would you be kind enough to post the link to what you are describing...I'm just not seeing it. It appears as though not all aircraft are on sale.

Thanks.
 
Thanks Tim,
For a second, I thought I was hallucinating.

It figures the best of the bunch wouldn't be on sale, drat!
 
The V Tail is Not on sale same price as normal :wiggle:

Shame it's not on sale, but still highly recommended! (I have ulterior motives in knowing there would be some beautiful Jankees paints on the way for this fab plane! :icon_lol:)
 
Yep too bad. . .even though $24.95 is a very reasonable price, every little bit helps right now and I doubt it would have hurt them to make the discount "across the board". Obviously, based on the few comments here related to the V35, it probably would have gotten them added sales they won't get now.:salute:
 
well I have been lusting after that Seneca for quite a while....and now she'sa mine

I don't know how they do it but I get the same hit on frame rates in the Carenado planes as I get with the default Cub - which is to say no hit at all....full on smooth flying.
 
I picked up the Saratoga. I've been eyeing it for a while, but I love it. I like the club seating in back. It's like it has the amenities of a small personal jet or twin in a single engine airframe. Plus, I remember the 1970's paint scheme from seeing them at a local airport a friend and I used to walk to when we were teenagers. :)
 
The T34 Mentor for under $10 US has got to be the best deal of the bunch. It's one of my absolute favorites: Great visibility, great flying characteristics and performance, and very intuitive VC.
Also, I've mentioned before that the Archer II is the plane in my stable that I fly the most. Flight characteristics are very close to the Warrior that I have taken lessons in (although it climbs a lot more enthusiastically).
The 185 is a blast to fly out of short strips, but visibility is poor with the high panel.

That's my six cents worth of reviews. Now I think I'll go buy another Carenado.
