Think the trouble is Dashing around to much and not stopping to look

As much as i like Jon's paints ... this Q400 really looks like the sausage dog of aeroplanes ... it simply just don't look right WOOF .. get down you

Those Dash-8 nacelles always remind me of the HP Hampden, aka "The Flying Suitcase"...

.... "Sausage Dogs" ... "The Flying Suitcase"..... now i wonder .. new name for the aircraft .. a "Dashhound" .. Dog gone dang it , i should be in DHC head-office with these promo ideas

Well, my Home Carrier Air Baltic from Latvia has this aircraft meanwhile in use. As passenger i dislike it a bit, because for me it is narrow and those garden chair´s are not very comfortable, if you are a bit longer and heavier. But... it is fast for an aircraft like this. From Berlin Tegel (TXL) to Riga (RIX) are 1071 km. With Boeing 737-500 1:20 hour and with DASH 8Q-400 1:50 for example. What I miss on this modell is the HUD. This is a really nice thing, if you come in on a cold and rainy day with some fog in Riga and see the runway late. Not from the instruments to outside and back... just follow the HUD. But... I don´t know, if the HUD is a typical mount or an optional fitting in the original aircraft.
But all in all it is a good model from Aleksey Frolov and the "Pilot´s edition" meet´s the requirements from the normal Sim-Pilot well enough.

Hmmm sounds a little like a cold Christchurch evening in winter .... think the Tropics maybe the place to move to ... all year round sun
