Sooo... judging by the feature list, this is like the accusim of GA kit aircraft. Looks classy.

Just as I was getting to know the A2A Stang, Realair drops the Lancair.

Life is good.

Just finished my first flight and all I can say is..... Wow

More options,settings and realism thats onece again going to raise the bar and make even the best of the best seem weak.

It flies great.

Yeah it flies great. Other than set the initial settings to my liking ,I never even looked at the POH and I feel totally confortable flying it.
I do not know what their special sauce is but nobody can make a plane spin like Realair. I initiated a accelerated stall at about 5000 agl and ateup alot of sky to get out of it. Pulled out about 2500. Thing is the spin felt totally natural,fluid and I was in total control.
Frames on my aging I7,2.9ghz,Vista 64 maxed out settings are good. I am noticing some slower scenery draws and popping but even low and fast the fps is good and smooth. Cannot wait to see the nightime vr pit lighting.

I like that you can change the VC textures by simply editing the first line texture.cfg file, in the texture folder of the paint you want to alter, to a different VC texture folder. That's handy.
Was hoping for a Paint Kit included with the download, but maybe 'soon'...

I have the rest of RealAir's birds. looks really good.

Okay. I was really hesitant to buy it, since I just invested in the A2A P-51D.

No regrets after flying it for a couple hours.
Like many others have already posted here, It really flies great.
Did some basic aerobatic maneuvers, rolls and a few loops, and they seemed spot on.
The sideslipping was so realistic, I never even gave it a second thought on an approach to HI01.
It felt just right, especially the controlling decent rate. Least to me anyway.

The detailing is incredible.
Right down to the minor scratches in the plexi canopy, the ones they get from being in the slipstream, and the way they reflect at certain angles to the sun.
I noted how well the LCD panels looked just right, like they were backlit, including the default GPS.
Instrument faces have great reflections.
The instrument and panel lighting is wonderful, very immersive.

Sounds are top notch as usual, everything sounded great.
If this is how a Lancair Legacy handles in the real world, I can see why so many pilots like them.
Definitely worth the price. Already made this my default 'go to' plane for quick hops.
