Great looking scenery out near Bullhead City....love the 747 airliner has new life because of the four engine configuration!

Yes, I did not fly it at first but now I love it, it has so much power, it can go up to Mach .90 at cruise, I usually fly slower at 300-320 KIAS.  I found a great controller for Xplane, a Logitech 3D Extreme, all my problems with Xplane went away.  It has a very firm feel, exactly like the Allegro, I trained in when I took Light Sport lessons, also exactly like a Trike Control bar.  I like the twist grip for yaw, I think it is much safer than rudder pedals.  I feel the pedals should be brakes, and they should incorporate twist grips into aircraft.  It is much easier to perform slips and to get out of a spin.
