Tweaking the Extra 400 - poden - 20-07-2005

Anyone try the Extra 400 for FSP? I don't have FSP yet, but was trying out the Extra 400 (downloadable from WS Pilots, and AVSIM). I was thinking
about making this my first plane to use with FSP. I initially liked it becuse it looked lightweight enough (2900 lbs or so empty) to be a "level 1"
plane, but can carry as much as 7 passengers, has a 1000+ NM range, and is fairly fast. On paper this makes it a little more desirable than the DHC2
Beaver for FSP. It has a Garmin radio stack, which I hate, but I replaced that with Bendix-King (I'm now thinking about completely redoing the
panel). The problem is, it seems somewhat unstable (i.e. it "nods" or oscillates vertically too much for my taste). Is there a way to reduce this?
What about fiddling with the the cg location? Has anyone tried this sort of thing?

Isn't a turboprop???

You can also try the Cessna 206 stationnair (payload model made by Tanz) or the Cherokee six (payload model by Nem)

Both can carry six passengers.

No, its got a turbo-charged 350 HP 6 cylinder.

I can make my own payload model, can't I?

Sure you can!

Look into the customization forum to learn how...
