RE: A10X still available?
Like Todd I had much success with the a-10x. I flew the living crappolla outta mine. I never tried tight loops with it, but it is not surprising that it would. Try some tight loops with a mustang or spitfire, they stall right out like it their job.
My A-10x was miles easier to land than my F-15/f-18/f-16/f-4/Bandit/Kingcat.
The only bad thing about it was the center section. It could survive a modest touchdown, but with brake application, it would break in all sorts of places.
The only change I would do is add crow on the ailerons. I would say this is not a bad trainer. If you can fly a mustang than this is a piece of cake.
