Cruise speed is generally stated at 202 mph so 130 mph at full throttle would not be a "cruise climb". They are rated at 1600 fpm at best climb speed with a full load I believe, so 3000 fpm may be feasible if, like most MSFS pilots, you fly around with no passengers and no cargo.

Also Carenado chose put digital engine analyzer to the cockpit. They could have retrofitted default autopilot and it wouldn't cost them a thing None of the previous versions of the planes had an AP (or Transponder) and we've seen from previous MSFS releases that Carenado don't seem very interested in doing much more than just updating the visuals of these planes. Especially when this one seems to have been pushed up the schedule for an early release to cover for the missing AN-2. Edited March 3, 20224 yr by Matchstick

OTOH I read in this thread you don't have to compensate with rudder or rudder trim... 😕 Let's wait for SU9 and forthcomming udates before evaluaiting these and other prop aircraft ecause they really need a feel of what ASOBO has already announced as comming with the new prop physics modelling.

Years ago I had the occasion to fly in one. It was like getting into a luxury living room. The woodwork was beautiful. I recall, when the door closed, it had a solid feel. And just sitting on the tarmac it was beautiful. I've been havong a blast in MSFS with this bird. RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

During climb there is absolutely no need for right rudder Isnt that a something all prop singles are lacking in MSFS?, from the start Ive noticed little or zero need for rudder in high alpha slow speed climbs in all prop singles
