Before There Was Air Force One

There was Columbine 2 and Columbine 3, Ike's Connies. 
But I am sure you people already knew this.
Me? I'm new to the A2A Connie but as a kid I had a few friction motor versions.
By the way - this is one heckuva aircraft.
I had issues with getting it to load, and then my inputs were haywire - I could steer and watch the nose wheel move correspondingly to my inputs but the plane drove in circles. Yeah, twice it was two engines off
but the other times it made no sense.
BUT when I got it to run as it should and inputs were a-okay, what a joy!
I left KLAX and very quickly got a positive rate of climb. Turned towards my heading and trimmed a bit. Where the Comanche takes 15 to 20 minutes to reach KONT, this took less than 10.
Trimming for touchdown was fun.
You guys did it again.
