What scenery are they using? Looks great!

Looking forward to this mystical aircraft. I have the Carenado version and it's meh. I know A2A will create a real beauty.

If you're unfamiliar with this aircraft, I'd like to suggest you do some googling and check out the controversies and rumors surrounding the dreaded '.. Killer'.

HA  called this two addons ago.  There was a snippet in their Comanche preview about wing shape and one was of the bonanza.

will be an easy buy!  Still hoping for a twin too!

Was my first retractable gear a/c during my flight instruction. Fun aircraft - looking forward to what A2A will bring to the table.

I never flew one, but I remember it was nicknamed the "Doctor Killer" because if its flight characteristics. It's an interesting choice on the part of A2A.

The "V-tail doctor killer" due to its unstable lateral axis. The downward force is non existent on this airplane and it's unforgiving. Mess up on this one and it could be the last time you mess up.

I've got nearly all their releases but was really hoping for some twin engine fun this time around :/

Doubtful it's a Doctor killer anymore since they have long moved on to the latest and greatest as those people do...

Now the Cirrus is the Doctor Killer.

I think its gonna be a fun and challenng GA plane to fly.  \o/

Hopefully a nice GA twin is in the works too for later.

Not since Cirrus added their training curriculum - but it definitely was technology overload when it first came out

As I recall from all the talk about the V Tail at the time, the CG is also a cause for concern. I can't remember why though.

There is an interesting post from Dudley Henriques about the "Doctor Killer" in the A2A' forum.
