That’s bright light in your face, not worry about a near miss and terrifyingly bouncy crash landing, right?

I’d love to fly one so I have something to compare to the sim…!

If the sim plane is an absolute ■■■■■ to slow down after landing than its accurate.

From my article:
“Landing performance is similarly impressive – at gross weight, using the recommended short final approach speed of 55 mph, then going to idle power and holding off until around 45 mph, I managed a landing roll of just a smidge over 500′ compared to the book value of 488′.”
Now don’t go testing that out and putting her on the nose though! 
There was no consequences in the sim when I did that…!

I’d say that is possibly even slightly Conservative. It really does stop on a dime. I still prefer the SF25 though. Much more relaxing flying.

Well got 2 good hours in till the wind came in and buggered it all up. Was very apprehensive about having a proper flying lesson again especially without @Scoop next to me. I was extremely worried about all my bad habits being found out lol. But it was very interesting and I had a lot of fun indeed. I’ve not reached solo standard in it yet but I feel another 2 hours and they will unleash me.
The approach is the most interesting thing, that is so much different from the SF25. It feels like I’m scraping the trees and have very little margin. But I’ll get used to it.
It’s damn cool piloting a “dream plane” like the Eurofox.
I’m saving my pennies (and I mean each single one) for my own taildragger one day. I fancy a pup or a cub. I love them.
But make no mistake, if it wasn’t 15m wide and I could fold the wings back I would buy an SF25 every single time.

Finished up the week at Sioux City, with the Iowa ANG. After simcert, went over to the paint barn and got to see the retro Idaho Hawg in person. Plus a bonus Tx Viper.
