nimby,

I'm prepared to believe that WG13 may be a tad harsh about AW, but your dismissive one line contradiction doesn't add to the debate - and I'd love to see a proper rebuttal (if there is one, which I doubt) of WG13 Dummy's cogent argument that:

I'm surprised no one has mentioned what its handling characteristics will be like? An aircraft that is a ton heavier than the current Lynx (high disc loading already) but will still have the same FCS, servos and flying controls. Those Lynx drivers amongst you will be more than aware that current Lynx is a 'sports car' until its up towards MAUM then it becomes a bit of a nightmare if not treated with respect. FLynx will be at that weight without much on board straight off. It will not be the super-dooper performance monster some think it will be because of the powerful CTS800's. Something to think about. NR control will be fun.
