Hey, Ziggy99,

I found that the Avistar from the G2 swap page wasn't set up quite right. I tweaked the simulator setup some to make it accurately reproduce the Avistar. The most annoying thing I fixed was the engine down-thrust. It has way too much down-thrust. Let me know if you want my tweaks.

For the rest of you Avistar fans - yeppers - It's a GREAT plane. I soloed on it the first day after some G2 practice over the winter. I'll have to do some of the mods to the landing gear suggested here.

Last time I was at my field, I saw two tail-dragger Avistar conversions. Way cool! One of them had a hot .46 and it was pretty fast.

I also appreciate the recommendation on the Sig 4-star as a second plane. My GP Cub 60 is almost complete, but I think I'll finish the 4-star 60 and Sig SE kits and fly them some b4 I take the cub out. The cub is a lot more work to build. I'd hate to loose it to any tail-dragger training mishaps. Talk about kits that just fall together on their own - the Sig 4-star 60 and SE are fantastic.
