I think it flies well. It seems a little hard to trim compared to the Boeing 247. I only flew it for a short time. IT just seemed like I'd get the trim right and the plane would start lifting again. But I need to reinvestigate when I get home. 

Edit: Been in the plane 10 minutes now. Trim is not an issue I got her trimmed up perfectly.

Whoopie !!  Another old AP.

Yep and I've been looking forward to this. The plane is really stunning. 

Initial thoughts: its 15 usd so I dont have the highest expectations. It is the Carenado of old made for msfs. It flys ok. Looks good in 2d and in VR. Engine sounds are underwhelming to say the least. Basic AP (no fault there) I do wish it had vc tds gtn integration. Otherwise its an ok plane. Not the most involved but certainly not a bad value.

A little disappointed it's a Arenado plane... I was excited thinking it may be the first thing I buy from the marketplace, guess I'll be saving my $15 for something else...

Does it have PMS50 GTN integration?

$15 in the Marketplace.

I really don't understand the anti-carenado stuff.  They make some decent value planes for the money.  Their Seneca and Skymaster are actually quite good in MSFS.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

I really love the Beech 18. The plane looks totally legit. The passenger section is beautiful even. I never had a problem with Carenado.
