Ahhhh. Nimble and Stratocruiser in the same sentence. Something I never thought I would write.

Everytime a question like this gets asked the response is there is so much else to get done first.
However recently with the demise of the aerostar there was a post talking about diverting efforts.

Sweet looking plane this one, and the sound is just awesome. The Excalibur has the 400 hp 720's just like the Commanche 400. Would this b...

Scott, sad to hear about the end of the A2A journey with the Aerostar. The videos you posted earlier really reflected your passion for this plane.

Well done mate. Welcome to the facinating world of navigation by the stars.

Drift meter would go nicely in the B377

Good stuff Scott. Save the hotrod approaches until next week. :D Stick to something like an ILS approach with a 10nm final from 3000 ft AGL. This will help get configuration, speed and power sorted well before touchdown. Nothing wrong with a front wheel landing in the Strat. Think of it as feeler ty...

The B-17 is version 1 of accusim so keep that in mind when you read about accusim capabilities.
