Not much point to this post really, except that I just got done with a flight and realized just how much this plane makes me feel like a
pilot. I just slipped the plane in to a perfect landing to dump some excess altitude, the COTs plane responds with perfect control harmony, like you are flying a Cessna, but a big one that takes considerable control forces and lots of rudder

Mastery of the correct throttle configurations, manuevering speeds at all phases of the approach. It is all clicking into place. The difference is that I actually feel a genuine sense of reward, as I get better, whereas with a lot of other planes it is sort of like "yeah, big deal". I'm starting to really feel I can do just about anything with this aircraft that it will let me do, and that it is
realistic. Sorry forum, just excited. This plane is
HOT.
