Mini MCP from VRinsight

This looks so good, I think it is worth the 50km drive to Aerosoft to check it out in the flesh so to say....And at ONLY €129 Shocked

I could well be bringing one home with me. There is also a video of it.

As nice as that little unit looks.......I think that this http://www.fspilotshop.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=66&products_id=479&... the 46 multimode $149 together with the landing gear/flap/TRIM $119 http://www.fspilotshop.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_9&products_id=475 would make a much better package, and at $270 combined, it's not much different in price....depending on the exchange rate Wink

edit..did I mention that it also comes with trim Cool

But with the 46 Multi Mode everything cycles on one button and if you miss is you have to go around again. Personal taste I guess.

That definately sounds like a valid concern.....
What bothered me about the VRinsight panel was that both the flap and gear switch look..........inadequate Roll Eyes

.......and did I mention the trim Grin

I am curious to hear about your choice after you get it, with updates on great it is Cool

Well, I bought one and that first in you hand feed, the build quality is far better than GoFlight. The switches are substantial and feel solid. It is all metal and of a very high quality. The folds and joints are perfect. It also comes with a formed metal stand. First glance, it should cost a lot more than it does. I have not yet plugged it in, no time, At the same time, my wife an I got new mobile phones (two year upgrade) and learning a new phone is enough to have you tearing your hair out. Now I have to do it twice as my wife and instruction books don't mix. Also bath night for the kids. I will post a small review and some pictures (Aerosoft did not do it justice) in a day or so. First impressions are Smiley

Edit...The M Panel also has trim Cool

No trim wheel, but a rotary instead. I managed to read the first two pages of the instruction manual before "life" got in the way. Will try again tomorrow Cry
