Shelton,I will try to answer your post when I get back home. I am currently in Scotland (writing this on my brother's PC), so I am playing catch up !Chris Low,ENGLAND.

So you are about to fly the "heavies"?

Lars,You wouldn't believe how close you are to hitting the mark with that screenshot. Several people have told me that I look like Rowan Atkinson, but I tend to keep a more normal looking face :-)I have just taken my first short flight in Ansgar's 747 (a circuit at Half Moon Bay), and I managed to take off, complete the pattern, and then land successfully. Ansgar is intending to increase the stall speed of the 747 at some point.......maybe he feels that a pilot like me shouldn't be ABLE to fly his masterpiece. After all, I do fly it like a Spitfire :-lolOf course, I'm far too big headed now to even contemplate failure :-)Chris Low,ENGLAND.

Shelton,The Beechjet is easier to fly than I thought, but you have to remember that I don't take it up to high altitudes or speeds. I prefer flying my aircraft "on the edge", which means a relatively high angle of attack, a certain degree of flaps AT ALL TIMES, and an airspeed of around 115 knots :-) This provides me with an excuse to fly a high performance aircraft in FU3, and yet still have the time to enjoy the magnificent scenery as it glides by at a relatively leisurely pace (and yes, this is also how I will be flying the 747-400).Since this type of flying is NOTHING like that experienced by a real Beechjet pilot, I would suggest that you get some tips elsewhere :-lolBest Wishes,Chris Low,ENGLAND.
