Sounds: default
Panel Functionality: Great Panel 100% functionality
Ground Handling: Fixed Skids, Hover Taxi only
Where Tested: Meig's / Chicago Area
Landing Characteristics: One of the easiest landing copters I've flown. Well mannered and excellent visibility.
Takeoff Characteristics: She lifts off at around 70% torque, hovers gently, awaiting your input. What a treat to fly this craft.
Other Remarks: I love this flight model

Only If known:
Handling:OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Manual Take-off = Very good for the newbie copter pilot
Landing = Easy, good visibility with this panel. But the 3D effect of the panel can throw off your
sight somehow, hard to explain. You might hit W to remove the panel the first couple of times.
SHIFT+Z will put your airspeed and altitude up on the screen.
Reverse Thrust = N/A
Easy to fly with Joystick = Yes / Joystick and rudder control required for successfull FS helicopter flight.
Autopilot= N/A Maybe in FS2K
Notes: I really like this copter, could you tell. I think you will too!!
Rating = 99%
