Sure is TOAD (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
A lot of folks say she's BUT UGGLY ! But i say it's a beuaty !
Was pretty cool flying her actually .. because it's going to be the most doctile "big" airplane i have flown so far .. no comarison to a Piston Twin too...
She rotates at 55 KIAS, then you let her build speed for a few secs and then rotate to a staggering 12-14° Pitch up in the climb at 90 KIAS.. hauls up to drop alt at FL160 in 11 mins (with a 1 min delay due to clearance required by ATC..
In the climb you're on instruments only because view ahead is nil, zapp, nada (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) just to the side you have a bit of view.. which is pretty wild climbing out of a mountain valley with 8000 feet peaks around (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Then after th drop it's flight idle and a 170 KIAS all the way down to final , that's a 15° nose down, which looks like straight down from the cockpit (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Having some thousand tow landings the approach from "unusual position" wasn't all to dificult and i nailed the final jsut perfect .. and she rewarded me with a really nice and soft landing (just to throw you into the sholder straps, when you pull the powerlevers into Beta range)
Easy to fly, super doctile, nimble as a i never thought of an airplane of that size ..
PURE FUN to fly (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

You might consider having the hangar folks hire security guards so the other aircraft do not get vandalized as well (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
