Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC
Viperdoc writes:
An Extra 300 is a pretty serious plane- extremely sensitive on the controls,
and can be pretty much flown with three finger touch.
Even in simulation, it's extraordinarily "nervous." I'm sure it's
much worse in real life. Nevertheless, I can see why an aerobatic
pilot would enjoy flying it. It seems to be an aircraft that will
instantly do whatever it is told ... for better or for worse.
It is much harder to
land than most spam cans due to limited forward visibility, and in fact it
comes in over the fence at the same speed as the Baron, only with no view
forward.
I imagine anyone who is competent to flying probably can land it
virtually blindfolded.
Also, pulling or pushing over six g's is pretty serious flying, let alone
while doing rolls at 400 degrees a second or tumbling end over end.
In real life, I don't like Gs at all, as they are hazardous to health.
MSFS does not even come remotely close to the visceral sensations or flight
model of the Extra.
Thank goodness!
