Gig, you have 5 hours of duel in a 206? Were you fighting with the
pilot?

I'm sure someone has created a Rotorway add-on for MSFS.


Actually, I suggested that to RotorWay yesterday.

As for a real one.
I don't want to spend that much on what would basicly be a toy of zero
practical use to me other than fun.


Whereas a C172 is pure pragmatism.

A C172 is a very useful method of transportation. For me anything much
faster would be overkill.

Actually, you are planted during all your flying, aren't you?

It would be easy to tell if it's a good sim - just autorotate to touchdown -
if you wreck the aircraft, they got it right.
