So I bought the Aeroplane Heaven Swift, installed it and took it for a swing. First impressions are very nice. Its easy to fly but not dull or boring. 20,US$ is ok. It looks good. Perhaps a bit to shiny and fresh from the paint shop for my taste, so hopefully someone will make some different liveries. This is the kind of bird that I like to fly when I´m just in the mood for a swift swing around and thats often the case. After a complicated ILS approach with strong winds and poor visibility, the shear joy of just turning and doing landings in a pretty landscape can be nice and for that, a small lowwing taildragger is the best.   |

I asked who was gonna be first on another thread and now we have it. Twenty bucks - you can hardly get decent boxed wine for that.

I think I'm going to pass on the Swift. Seems nice and all and the price is OK but I got enough for the nonce. Time to start thinking of a new computer to run what I do have better.

I totally follow you Pivo and I was thinking the same. I have to many small AC that I dont use very much and I should use those some more. (I know I wont)
BUT, this one is different. There are very few small lowwing taildraggers out there and less for P3D. and besides this one is really charming and the linkage to the old Bill Lyons Swift is important for me. (When I fly this one, I can remember some of the flights in Bill Lyons swift 12 years ago. Far out but true)
And, I will buy another creation from the same develloper when it comes out, The Fokker 27 Friendship. In P3D, besides the Majestic Dash, which is to procedural for me at this moment, we have very few good Turbopropliners.
And finally, I like to support a develloper making something out of the norm. We have more than enough small highwing Cessnas, lowwing Pipers and Beechcraft etc. There was and is a world of other AC out there. I have taken the decission not to buy any more of that stuff, especially from the develloper with the flashy AC that are so boring to fly as it is to drive a new Ford.
