The let's say new thing that I tried in this version is the Dual-Gyro System or DGS. What is DGS? Well it consists, as the name suggests, of two gyros. The first one (AG2) is primarily used for Approaches, Takeoffs and difficult weather conditions. The second gyro (AG3) is only for the cruise phase of a flight. It is less agile and more stable. What else? Ah yeah, it has a longer fuselage and they for nearly two times the capacity of the old plane. As I mentioned earlier, this plane has different ag groups than my other planes so here are the things that are featured in this plane:
-custom landing gear
-flaps (VTOL)
-custom lights (Ag1)
-DGS (main=Ag2, cruise=Ag2)
