Once more, fascinating comments from SLFs and other youtube link fans, thanks soo much


As for the ARJ, 146, quadrapuff, British engineering at its finest or whatever you wanna call the 5 APU thing, the best part of the design is certainly the strong trailing link landing gear. Smoothes out all but the firmest...
As for the rest of the beast, well, I would humbly say (spent a tad short of 3K on it, many moons ago) it is vastly overengineered, proof amongst others the overhead panel with its NIPS lights or the reverse flow engine.
The rest, namely basic lack of performance combined with low operating efficiency gives the clue to its demise, RIP
