Not the easiest beast to handle but I think it will be fun when complete. Problems I noticed included: the nose wheel retracts but the main gear stays down
ground handling was unpredictable - sometimes no matter what I tried it would just go round clockwise like only the port engines were running - other times it was fine - diff braking helped but only slightly props don't turn - so I couldn't visually check which engines were running - all gauges and throttle positions seemed to suggest I had all 4 OK though. I havent much experience at this but if there is any help I can offer, please say.
