You'll need to soften up the suspension a tad if your system is anything like mine.

On a rough and ready and highly unscientific basis, i.e. it worked so enough playing already, I changed the contact point lines to:

point.0 = 1, -9.2703, 0, -3.1901, 3575, 0, 0.2, 36.8, 0.15, 2, 0.696, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
point.1 = 1, 3.5, -3.5, -5.5, 3575, 1, 1.2, 0, 0.253, 3, 0.895, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0
point.2 = 1, 3.5, 3.5, -5.5, 3575, 2, 1.2, 0, 0.253, 3, 0.895, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0

I think I increased the MOIs too, but that was just to keep life simple for an initial quick hop, and yes it's a hoot to play with. Love the glass cockpit, well the gauge glasses anyway..........

Thanks for that, I downloaded a few other offerings while I was over there and found several (including the Gladiator for example) to leap about uncontrolably when parked on the ground!

I've been flying this machine today and what an exquisite model it is :welldone:

It also flies beautifully and needed no adjustments at all on my system...BTW, I found that if you dive to near 100 mph and then pull up as if trying to loop, it will run out of speed as you reach the vertical and will then perform a near perfect stall turn without you using any rudder...Wonderful :welldone:

The whole aeroplane is just beautifully made and I can hardly put it down :fly:

If you downloaded the dart Kitten - you might want to try the Flight file for it over at the Pond -- Craig built a beautiful model spoilt only by the fact it performs like an Extra.. Brian Horsey made the
flight charachteristics a little more beileveable.

Oh yes and Gary Jones just released an ANzani sound file for the Eastbourne

Here is a very brief video of that Anzani Sound...You may need to turn your sound volume right up :)

Just took a quick spin in the (updated) Kitten...much better!

The new sound file for the Eastbourne is great but for some reason it keeps reminding me that lawn mowing season is fast approaching....hmmm.
