• 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.

Was watching the Spirit of St. Louis movie the other night (Jimmy Stewart version), and got to thinking about the default Ryan. Has anyone mucked with a more user friendly FM or know of one? As you all know it is nearly unflyable, especially with a lot of fuel. Would be nice to have a more enjoyable hand-flyer version to cruise around in.

That would defeat the purpose of this particular aircraft. Lindy had Ryan tweak the aircraft to be unstable, his reasoning being that this would force him to stay awake.
In this case I think the only way to appreciate the accomplishment is to live with the flight model challenge. At least we can hit the pause key and get up from the PC and walk away from it for a while.

Cheers

Drop 90% of fuel; the real thing flew for 34 hours on full tanks! 10% will still give you three hours of flight time. Much easier that way. ;)
