Perhaps more checklists should have entries for animal hats? What the hey?!!!. Is that really a feature or is it something the reviewer edited in somehow?
December 14, 20232 yr No, it's there in the plane. The cat as copilot is not part of the plane. The funny ears are. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

December 14, 20232 yr Well I have been waiting for this one for a while - I have about 200hrs in Winjeels - mostly in the 'Fanta Can' (43 VH-NTJ) - it has brought back many memories - the most memorable was on my 40th birthday - I had never ground looped a tail dragger before (including the C185) - but hubris overtook me taxing too fast off the runway in a moderate wind - and then bang - there I was facing the back of my head very quickly & feeling very very embarassed in front of the student I was endorsing - I then vowed I would never ever ground loop an aeroplane again - guess what - exactly a week later I did the same bloody thing - just hubris again!! The thing that really gave me a kick with the Winjeel was spinning them - I expected that as usual the stall/spin chacteristics would be the usual dumbed down version - silly me!! The first power off clean stall I tried the wing dropped rapidly & caught me out & I was in a fully developed spin very quickly - again thinking that it would be the usual benign experience - but was I wrong - now will be one of my favorites - BTW when 43 was flying it was the only fully IFR Winjeel going round - lots of good radios & stuff.

December 14, 20232 yr Author For people having problems with the turning circle on the ground, you can use differential wheel braking like Jonathon Beckett did in his recent video, but the plane is also set up to use either a limited turning effect on the rear wheel when using rudder, or a fully castoring effect. The different modes are swapped simply by holding the stick either fully back, or pushed fully forward. (obviously at taxiing speeds). I have also found it needs just a slight bit of power on landing, just enough to keep slight propwash over the elevators and rudder. It has more control then and better able to fine tune the rate of descent, and keeping it straight on the runway at rollout. The slight bit of power doesn't really increase the landing speed buy much, if anything at all. I am loving this aircraft. And if Ant brought out the T-28 Trojan I would but it tomorrow. I obviously also need to take a look at his tiger Moth. I would love to hear more anecdotes or useful information from @Rattso on this interesting little plane. You can really feel its character in the sim, it has been done that well. It is things like this that make me love flight-simming.

First file from Just Flight since 2008 that hasn't opened. Solution...the file was blocked for some reason. Went into Properties and unblocked it and all is well Edited December 14, 20232 yr by nippa solution to problem found
