Anyone know anything about this beast?

The manual makes it look tempting....

Sorry, I thought it was a music video.........................

I have it, and it's a wonderful beast. A bargain at that price. Take a look at the SOH forums to see the very positive comments. Also the Sibwings support forum.

Thanks - I had a look at SOH and the reaction seems good, so I've taken the plunge.... Oh, well I'd only spend the money of something trivial like food...

A very good promo. I want it. Even though I can't run FSX, and I don't read Russian, and I can't cope with their counter-intuitive artificial horizon. Ho-hum...

I have this, its a beast and half! If you like slow, not like cessna slow, this is even slower, then get it! Take off is very short, and RTFM!

[JohnWillimas]

Well first reaction is that this is an absolute beaut! It gets the Colt's quirky engine start with the flywheel spin up quite well comparing it with some videos I have seen of the real thing... Regrettably I've been a way for a couple of days so no chance to play..:-(

If you cut then engine and hold the stick back does the aircraft land?
Apparently the real one is meant to do this.

I've not managed it yet - mind you they are still playing with the FDE over at Sibwings to tweak performance so we'll see... There certainly seems to be a strong enthusiasm there for getting this to behave as close to reality as it can within the limits of FSX.
