SECTION D: 	NOTES/COMMENTS:

*)	This aircraft was tested in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 Pro.

*)	This is a big aircraft and quite stable during most phases of
	flight. Be careful of a clean stall at MTOW as recovery is not 
	easy.

*)	Turbine spool up time is long, so there is no quick reaction to
	throttle changes.

*)	The visual model has a much better 3D presence than previous model.
	Very little bled through etc.

*)	The animated contra rotating prop is impressive

*)	Night lighting effects are very realistic.
