Yeah sorry about that laugh.gif Still fly it lots but you guys are probably sick of the old Majestic Q300 and I find the new Q400 quite tricky!

Ok - In terms of realisim, both are extremely real - but I find the 1900 so much easier to handle, the Q400 is so touchy on landing - throttlewise anyway

thats just what I found for me anyway smile.gif
