Is anyone currently working on the b1900d FDM? The reason I ask is that while the model is gorgeous, the FDM is relatively broken.
I've tried fixing the FDM before a couple of months ago but I didn't get anything acceptable. The aircraft accelerates at a hell of a rate on the ground but wont unstick until about 160kts with flap and when it does, the torque effect requires full right aileron to counteract until the airspeed reaches 200kts. (which takes a matter of seconds). Also, if you fight the aircraft level and then apply full-flap, cut the throttles and hold your altitude to the stall, you find that the stall occurs at 120kts and immediately causes a vicious spin. For the Torque, don't the b1900d's have counter-rotating props? As for the FDM's aerodynamics, I've yet to work out exactly what is wrong (the numbers look right but the result is rather like a dragster without wings). Any thoughts?
