Abacus Cessna 162 Skycatcher

Recommended Posts

From the review and screen shots, it looks like they rushed the product a bit. The actual production Cessna 162 has a ventral fin and revised tail shape, due to spin problems. The airframe mod is in the production line aircraft, but the sim modeldoesn't have it. The sim model is based on a second version of the plane... the production plane is version number 4 of the design. Cessna also redid some of the control throws and limits to help the spin recovery. At Oshkosh 2010 they had three of themaround the area and I got to see them fly a couple at Fond duLac airport. They have also updated the interior a bit. I'm going to wait for a good exterior model and actual flight model before getting a sim model... this is a good first try, but needs a v.2 to really work..
