This aircraft has a lot of power, and take-offs are quick and climb is good. The B1900D is quite stable and fast, anyone graduating from a Cessna 172 will appreciate the stability and the power of the aircraft. Banking too hard will trigger the "Bank Angle" warning and so will decending too fast. | This aircraft has a lot of power, and take-offs are quick and climb is good.

The only potentially serious problem I have encountered on this aircraft is during landing. With some realistic procedures, this can be sorted out. Descending very fast requires a sharp arrest of descent before landing, however pulling up sharply will not slow the descent enough to land smoothly. Also, the right wing tends to dip as the aircraft enters a stall in nose up condition at high speed near the ground, not somewhere you want to be. The solution is to trim the aircraft for landing, ensuring with sufficient elevator control and to approach at the recommended approach speed of 130 kt. Also check the weight configured for the model, try flying empty for a start. | |||
Apart from the above cautions, the B1900D is a real mini airliner, ad fun to fly due to its speed, power and rate of climb not to mention the 3D models including a single pilot (no co-pilot and no passengers). | |||
