How does it compare with the Lago?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

The aircraft is quite nice The aerialfoundry hornet and Lago Falcon are much better at systems replication for example, but I think that it beats all the DSB Design fighters in terms of quality. The sound is fantastic (very true to the real tornados ive seen and heard), all custom and after reading my aircraft guides I tested the flight envelope and I managed all the real performance without exceeding it, which is very nice.

Its more for people who want to have fun straight away. If you like complex systems, then I would advise lago or aerosoft fighter products, I have the lago falcon and its much more complex than this one in that aspect.

I dont have the Lago Tornado so I cant compare, but the exterior of this one is very nice too.

It all depends on what people's priorities are. I wouldnt usually get an aircraft with systems this simple.

i am not a huge fan of this. it is not a great leap forward from the DSB version.

however, should you require any schemes for this, pop over to ukmil.org.uk and get them there

also, any older paintscheme for the DSB will go straight onto this model, so just download some of them also

Unfortunately IRIS (formely DSB) seem to spend considerably less time on the VC's than they do the exterior models which is a shame as some of the exterior models are stunning. The F-14 and Mig-29 have outstanding exteriors and nice flight dynamics too.

I'm sure they'll get better as they go along and I for one look forward to their future products, especially the finished F-14.
