   Hey guys!

After seeing many brilliant screenshots of this aircraft and reading its product description I am very tempted by this aircraft.  I particularly like it because of the included West Coast Air livery which I remember flying on when holidaying in Vancouver.  I was just wondering whether you guys who have it recommend it, likes or dislikes, possible flights that I could do with it, how to navigate with it (no INS or FMS!) and whether its easy and realistic to fly?

Thanks guys,
Tom

	I bought it today anyway!! It's very good. I'm a bit confused about the prop settings though. In the manual it says that cruise power is 40 PSI - I've set that, then it says cruise RPM is 75% - does this mean the lever is moved 75% full, or does it mean that I set 75% RPM, because I can pull the lever to the fully feather position and it only reduces to about 77% RPM on the gauge. Is this right or am I doing something wrong?
	Kind regards, Tom

	You will have a power lever(lbs of torque) and a condition lever for prop RPM...that is if this is a turbo prop version. I don't know what the power increments are for the Twotter in cruise flight...sorry.
