US Air called it the Swinebat: Looked like a bat and flew like a pig. I concur. The roll channel is the worst: heavy as all @#$%.

It's control laws are completely arse about. Should be Ailerons 1, Pitch 2 rudder 4: 146 has ailerons 10, pitch 1 and rudder 4!

Still, no hydraulic elevators and ailerons to worry about servicing (until you get a pitch oscillation).

If you reckon a hushpuppy is good to fly, have a go on an FK28: you'll cream your jeans. Twinkle rolls at 50ft. Yahoo!
