JF/AH Stinson L5

Hello all!
Bought the Just Flight/Aeroplane Heaven Stinson today and thought I'd give you a quick summary of my initial thoughts.
Handling feels great, having never flown a real one I couldn't possibly comment on the realism, but it feels 'right' to me! The tailwheel is steerable so ground handling is a doddle.
Textures inside and out are very nice. I like the little individual touches such as the mud-caked tyres on the RAF scheme. Animations such as the tie-downs and covers are nice, as is the option to take off the engine cowling.
Concessions to modernity in the cockpit (a big plus for lazy flyers like me) include Nav and ADF radios and the default GPS. Also, although not visually modelled, it does have a 'secret' working autopilot if you have keys/buttons assigned to the AP functions as I do.
Being a simple aircraft, there's not a huge amount to it, but at a sensible price (£16.99) I personally think it's a good buy for a solid quality addon, perfectly suited for low and slow flying. I'm certainly having a lot of fun with it anyway!
