Flying Fries Releases Gabriel BK160-TR (Maker of XF-11)

I took a flight from KNQX to KVNC this afternoon (I cheated for the long over water portion by using the "Portal" function on my //42 Flo Pro). This aircraft looks fantastic, flies smoothly and has a bunch of modern functions (e.g., window in window on the MFD up front and center). There is nothing wrong with this aircraft, but I think Flying Fries still has some refinement to do (and if the XF-11 is any indicator, he will). I'm reminded of a PC-21 without the power, roll rate or a speed brake. Looking forward to the refinements!
 
Lovely little aircraft!

There's something about the 3D model that doesn't quite convince me — the wing seems off, particularly the dimensions of the flaps and ailerons, as you can see in the image I posted. Of course, take it with a grain of salt since the drawings were sourced online and I’m not sure how accurate they are. That said, they were actually taken from the official report on the incident involving aircraft PH-TRC in June 2022.

My bad, a video of that very same aircraft shows flaps with smaller surface than the aileron, when retracted... :/
 
Look at the line between the flap and the aileron in the original and the one in the 3D model, I purposely offset them to better show the trend of the lines

I also noticed the rollbar in the video, which is missing in the model, but perhaps it depends on the optional equipment.
