Looks like it might be a little hard it get into some places, but I bet it can handle Misty's place just fine. It rounds off a good, very nice quality free package if you get the Eaglet LSA demo form Ants's Airplanes

Screenshots were to big for the forum, but it looks great!

Takeoff distacne was 600 feet, landing about 700. Pretty good for a little trainer if you ask me!

The panel looks a little comliczted for some of us used to 'bout 3 gauges, but looks managable.

Umm, Ryan, it's glass not steam. It's all there.

Here's AOPA take on the C-162.  Just another made in China product that didn't pan out.

Sue, I meant the glass panel may be complicated for some of us who are used to having three steam gauges, like a cub.

Spud, it's kind if like a super 152. Why buy an overpriced 2 place glass cockpit trainer when you can get a nice 152 for $25,000?

Also, Milton Shupe is converting lots of his FS9 aircraft to FSX native. Right now, he is working through the Aero Commanders. He completed the beat-up AC500 (the one covered in mud) but also the AC520 and the AC560A(HC). The AC500  flies pretty much like a 185, and the second two are faster with higher compression engines and I think one is turbocharged.  They have much better flight dynamics and textures then the port-over version from the past.

You will need a Sim-Outhouse account to DL right now, but they will spread onto other sites quickly as well.
 

First one AC500, then AC520 and lastlky AC560A(HC)

The 162 is like a J-3 with tricycle gear and a glass  cockpit and flaps.  No yokes, just sticks.  Nice little
bird to practice your pattern skills.
