It was the absurd flight physics of their FSX/P3D Chipmunk that first put me off them. It took off like a startled sparrow, completely unlike the real aircraft. Their fully-fueled, bomb-laden SB2C did similar in still-air conditions, even without the benefit of a carrier's headwind. The C-46, fully laden, could be at over a thousand feet up by the time it crossed the runway threshold at the other end - and then it hardly accelerated at all. I will admit the external models were beautiful, but the flight dynamics were dreadful, even to the point of Just Flight trying to rectify them. I'm open to persuasion, however.

I have their Cessna 140 and the Spitfire mk1a, and they seem alright, but obviously I don't know if the flight models are authentic.

June 24, 20223 yr Author Chipmunk is up on JF store now and as expected it's way cheaper at £18.99https://www.justflight.com/product/aeroplane-heaven-de-havilland-canada-dhc1-chipmunk Pictures on the store page are currently of the Electra though 😉

For complete authenticity the front cockpit and face mask should give off a distinct whiff of rubber and vomit and the guy in the back will be a grumpy, middle aged, Polish bus driver and ex-Spitfire pilot.

Yep, that price is low enough to give it a try. First impressions aren't bad either - doesn't seem to be able to tow the new Premium version of the Discus glider but otherwise seems promising.
June 24, 20223 yr Not a big fan of the other AH airplanes, this doesn't look bad visually. Will look forward to reviews.
