Flew it at SWA, till we phased them out. One of the characteristics I loved on this plane, was a "sports car" type feel to the controls, You could easily fly her with fingertip control. Just a joy to fly. Based on what I have heard thus far of the flight model description, sounds like the flight characteristics are pretty spot on. I don't have the plane, nor XP11, someday perhaps. I am very familiar with the 737-200. When flying the aircraft, it's easier to use Fuel Flows rather than EPR's. If we wanted to maintain 250kts straight level, set 2500 lbs on the fuel flow. If memory serves, I believe once we configured to flaps 30, 2500lbs would work well for approach as well. Flaps 40, seems like I remember around 2800-3000lbs FF for approach. This will get you in the ballpark, if the flight model is close to Boeing specs; I suspect that it will be. We just used EPR for takeoff/go-around settings. If she's like the 737-200 I flew at SWA, you folks will have a blast with her. Another trick we used on landing was the "push" due to the CG location. Just right before touchdown, push forward on the yoke a little, if you time it right.....greaser every time! Have Fun! Best, David Thank you David. You just made it even more exciting to fly this aircraft on my computer. I'm looking forward to honing my skill using your numbers.
