  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Draco for 2020?

All the decals on this one have the "X" logo, but I don't think it has the 1k HP modeled. That said...

I bought it - I like it! It has good ground handling, but getting to sit still without brakes is next to impossible. Even just barely into the beta range, it's still pulling forward. Pull back just a little more into beta, and you're going back. I haven't found that neutral point yet. In the air, it climbs like it was shot out of a howitzer! It may not be a daily driver, but it sure will be fun to take into the Grand Canyon for some "dumb ways to die" type flying!

Oh, and unlike some other add-ons that I've tested, the blue Level button on the autopilot actually works on this one.
 
One tip on landings, fly it close to stall, full flaps, 3 point touchdown and hold full back stick and it will stay straight as an arrow on the short roll-out to stop even without beta range on the throttle.
