Great stuff.  For what it's worth, that's mainly one of the Flugwerk 190 replicas with some original bits thrown in.  Not quite in the same ball part as the Paul Allen 190A5 in terms of authenticity.  Not that I'd turn it down if offered to me :)

I wonder how close it performs compared to the original. Be nice to see if you could in reality pull back hard on the stick in a 90 degree bank without the "hooooooonk" stall horn and insta flip stall like in the game here when the same amount of pull on say a Spit doesn't give you the same result.
