-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION D: 	NOTES/COMMENTS:
		
1)	Stable in Altitude & Heading Hold AP.

2)	Take off run different to original TXT file data.

3)	Acceleration in the air after lift off very good. I had to be 
	quick to keep speed <250 KIAS. Used Autopilot VS to control 
	speed.

4)	"Feels" like a heavy jet.

5)	At least it gets off the ground, which is more than I can say
	for the conversion of the original.
