Review
The Van's RV-6A model was a pleasant surprise. Painted in an attractive blue livery, the model really stands out in the air and on the ground. Starting using the usual procedure of } for and M for magnetos, pressing the s key brought the engine to life with a realistic growl. I could not increase the power beyond 75% but the aircraft took off and climbed on this power.
In the air, the RV-6A has a very direct and crisp feel to the controls. The aircraft is stable at the same time, and seems to be a good cross country machine. Visibility is good all around, and the exterior and interior model are well done, leading to some very nice screenshots. The instruments are clear and well placed within view.
I did not test the autopilot.
