The 7X, besides the FBW once it is in flight above 400ft on take Off and before 50 ft on landing is agreat aircraft. HOWEVER,

Avionics is outdated, not the hardware, the mess that Dassault did with Epic.
Look at what Gulfstream got, it is a winner hand down.

the documentation is awfull, there is nearly 4000 pages, and half of it is useless and another 25% is trying to convince the birds how to fly.

The only nice thing on the Easy is the FPV, but what a trade-off !!!

Even if my heart is flying falcon, I have to say that these last versions are not properly fine tuned, the 2000 Easy or worse the 900 Easy 5 years down in production have NO vertical OR Lateral guidance on Take-Off below 400 ft!

The 7x trims stops FROZEN at 50 ft; if the stick is held to long on touch down the NWS has only 1.5° of authority.. Answer : Differential braking works... The list goes on for ever....

And wait for the Xwind limit of 23 kt....what a beast !!!!!

This is a miss , this aircraft is good on the ramp, but no thank you... I would rather fly a Global.... that says it all...
Number 200th just been lined up on completion line !
Give me your adress I' ll send you a sticker...


GOOD Catch CL300
