Nice looking aircraft, Stefaan. Is this aircraft equal to the Boeing Triple-7?

Hi Sandy,

It fits in indeed a bit in the class of the 777-200.
Got some graphs below here:

This aircraft by FlightFactor is about 96% complete in systems... will improve and upgraded from advanced to Professional in the coming months and then it'll be full systems like.
It's a lovely flyer climbing out and flying her by hand to cruise is a joy.
