I had heard some good reviews so I figured I'd get it. The problem is that it doesn't seem to want to leave the runway.

I looked in the "Quick Start" manual and after 17 pages of total BS, it finally got to how to fly the plane. Even then, it is written in so "chatty" a manner that I am beginning to yell at my monitor.

Does anyone have, or know of a simple check list of what is necessary to actually get this plane to fly?

Actually, rummaging through their forum provided an answer to the immediate problem I had. "Out-of-the-box" this aircraft is nose-heavy and will not take off unless properly trimmed. I kind of lost that in all the excess verbiage in their documentation. It is the exact opposite of the Flight1 Pilatus PC-12 which is quite tail-heavy and wants to go up more steeply than can be sustained.

I should have thought of it, but like every day around here, it's Monday. Wacko
