        Special Thanks to Jens Borgstroem (Duckling Air) for creating
        the Flight Dynamics for this Aircraft.
        http://www.danbbs.dk/~jbdk/duckling/

        NOTAM: This aircraft is in FS6.1 (FS98) Format
        The FSCONV98.EXE and FS98PAT1.exe Programs MUST be installed to
        FS98.

        This aircraft was created by me using AF99 by Abacus Software.
        It also has  Steerable Nose Gear, Moving Props, Control Surfaces and operating
        Landing Lights Added using "Aircraft Animator".
        To operate the lights, press CTRL L to turn them on or off. At
        night time they will illuminate the runway.
     
        To install:
        -----------
        UnZip to your FS98\AIRCRAFT Folder using
        WinZip or similar program making sure the paths option
        is turned on.

        Then add your favorite turboprop sound files and panel
        and go flying.
        I plan to add a Twin Otter instrument panel and Turbo
        Prop sounds for this bird in the near future.

        A few words from Jens Borgstroem re. the handling and such.
        Here's a few facts and figures :

        Speeds:
        -------
        Max speed VNE set to: 235 KIAS and 40 Mach
        Fast cruise ( not max. ) is 182-190KIAS
        Ord. / eco. cruise is 165 - 172KIAS

        At FL 210 these are the figures:
        N1 = 98 pct approx.
        Spd = 172KIAS / 39Mach

        Climb rate in FT/min:
        ---------------------
        Climb <4.000 = 1.400 - 1.500
        Climb  4.000 - 8.000 = 1.200
        Climb  8.000 - 14.000= 1.000
        Above =  800 - 900          

        ........

        Approach ( eg. og std 3* glideslope ):
        --------------------------------------
        approx. 20 NM out - reduce speed to round 150 KIAS
        approx. 10NM out - set first flap and reduce to 125 ( comes by itself )
        approx.  7NM out - set next flap and reduce to 110
        approx.  4NM out - set full flaps and reduce to 90-100, and let the speed 
                 wear off so on final you 'float in' at round 90 over threshold and 83 
                 on touchdown ( on final possibly third notch flaps ).

        Slight flare is necessary at touchdown.

        On approach she is comming in rather flat, like the real bird.
