I saw a post recently ask about a good GA plane, so I thought I might start a healthy debate as to which one do you think is "the complete package"...
For my money, I would vote an equal 1st to:
I find myself sitting in the VC of both of these more often than not!
- Ant's new Eaglet (otherwise it would have been his earlier Sierra, but I like a high-wing for a change!)
- Classic hangers BF-108
These aircraft are packaged with many "bells & whistles", but these bells and whistles do a lot more than make noise!
Just some of my favourite things include (in no particular order) Load managers, vc raindrops (Ant), immaculate gauges that you can easily mouse operate, the best looking GPS in FSX (Ant), a cockpit that you can almost smell the leather and bakelite (CH), operable vents, switchable gauges (both)... well the list goes on!
Don't get me wrong, I love my other planes too; I have a stack of Carenado GA's which are all outstanding but these planes are awesome! Possibly my "style" of flying comes in to this; I tend to have time for just short or medium hops; I love VFR with a real map sprawled out next to me, and I want enough to challenge me (taking in to account my short attention span!)
So... what is your favourite?
