Does someone have a list of flyable aircraft for FlightGear?
About the only aircraft that handles in a realistic way is the 172.
What I would love to see done is all the incomplete aircraft stripped out of
FlightGear. It leaves a sour taste in one's mouth when you try all the
aircraft and just
Shucks ... I can't get FG running again (keeps aborting on joystick bindings)
but I was getting the yaw oscillations at about 2000 feet in level flight at

When I manage to get FG running again I'll set up a proper problem scenario.
