Tired of flying the same old thing day in, day out?
Here's are three oddities in my FS9 hangar, and each are a blast smile.gif
The first two are from Lionheart - the Dauntless and Wasp, and the last one is a Rutan Pond Racer I found on Flightsim.com.

First up, the Dauntless, a twin tuboprop featuring forward swept wings with canards and a single counter-rotating prop. She is fast - 360kts IAS at 25,000ft ASL - and nimble (I've accidentally pulled 4G in a turn with her).









Next is the Wasp, also from Lionheart. It's a VTOL capable light single-seat craft with rotating ducted fans (I think that's what they're supposed to be anyway). Another fast one, doesn't start to get shaky until 350kts, and will climb to an altitude of 30,000 feet quite quickly. It's equally at home down low and slow, hovering at around 11kts. Watch out for the speed brake though, it has will pitch the nose up dramatically, and it's deceleration is almost instant. Aerobatic in terms of pitch and yaw, roll rate is the only thing keeping this one from being a stunner. She'll get you from where you are to where you want to be fast, then hang around low and slow to enjoy the scenery.












Last but not least, the Rutan/Scaled Composites Pond Racer - powered by two Nissan inline 6's lifted from Skyline GTR's and mated to an aerodynamic (yet unconventional) light-weight airframe, she is fast and maneuverable. Designed as a modern replacement in the Reno air races for venerable (and aging) warbirds, only one was built - and sadly crashed - in real life, yet thanks to the world of MSFS you can still enjoy it's charms.
