Good Reliable Fun
I tried one of the demos that was available, and was having a lot of fun. there are some neat features included with this small bush plane. It can be a casual coffee in one hand flyer, or more complicated, depending on the options you have turned on. Sitting in my hangar at 85 prim(lightly modified bush plane version), Size and weight will fit most hangar or tie down displays. Painting map layout is well done and maintains good details.
If you are looking to explore or commute with a good handling, and reliable aircraft. This will fit just about anywhere and is fun enough to make this your next daily flyer.
Thank you Java for the fun, and your time in creating such a great aircraft.

EXCELLENT plane !!!
I love this plane, it handles so nicely, close to RL feeling, real dash board with good and precis instruments awesome to fly in mouse look.
Very reliable and fast simcrosser, I do long flights without any problems.
Its mod so you can have your very own one and its great, for example, I made for me a skis version for winter and I enjoyed it so much in snowy regions.
The handling on water of the Amphibious version is perfect, as well...
And the aerobatic version is a lot of fun to fly "dirty side up"...
Really it's such a pleasant plane to cruise SL and I really love it
Probably the better one from Java...
Surprise
I bought this because I soloed in 1966 ish, in a Citabria like this only red (Champion). Later as an instructor I taught in it and another plane like it (N3620N and N9696S) I only wanted to have this so I could remember the good ole days.. but guess what? It flies wonderfully, well made, good mesh, and I am really happy flying it. Don't hesitate. It is a great little airplane. (no carb heat, thats ok, maybe it is a fuel injected engine). :) Keep up the good work
