Oh my. Did you see how much throw he put into that plane. Jeez.

Just when you think you are getting better at something ... then you see that.

AFP is incredible. No reason to risk my plane anymore!

That's a true statement. I just got back from my local flying field and everything I do on AFP I can do at the field (of course the plane has to be set up to do it, that's a given). That guy's flying is some of the best I've seen. Makes me wonder if in the future, the IMAC events are going to be on Sims and the judge looks at the pc monitor. Of course real flying is better but the margin of difference between real and Sim is closing.

CG: +3.0 cm
eng: 12 kw, torque: 40%
prop: 31x10.6 max rpm= 8200

Enjoy !

Thanks for the numbers.

Question: There were three CG numbers. Which one is +3 cm? Also the units were in english units. Must be the English version. Also I wonder where he shaved off the weight. I just left the CG alone and took two lbs off the engine. I must say this is spoiling me having that much control over the models. They hover at 1/4 throttle. Unreal.

Also I made the rudder 60 percent. Tight knife edge loops for sure! Plus it's fun to harrier on your side.

Joe, chenge the 7.0 in the first column to 3.0 for the cg

As for the weight, just reduce the fuse weight by 1 kg.

Enjoy !

It's Aeroflypro. www.aeroflypro.com

Do you guys remember that guy that said he does not use a sim any longer or AFP because it was too easy as compared to real flying?

I wonder if he has seen that video yet.

Wow!

That i ssome of the best flying I have ever seen ... if he can do that with a real plane I'd sure love to see it.

Pucker factor is always a bit higher with the real thing

Does AFP have adjustabel wind settings?

How many times a day does everyone watch this video? I'm down to only about 8 times. I kinda like the song too. I've gotten pretty used to the mix of the video and the song now.

Well that settled it. Never realized how "toyish" and unrealistic G2 looks by comparison. Chalk up one more convert! How's this program run FPS wise compared to g2?
