It’s the DH8D ;)
Anyways, I am flying the Dash-8 pretty good, I’d say.

MaxSez. I’ve been flying the Dash exclusively since day 1. I have lots of hours and 5 sometimes but I have not mastered the nasty lady yet in windy conditions. She’s a hand full. I love the challenge! Kick the tire lite the fire an go for it till you get it right in all met conditions. ( I follow @AR_AR guidance and flang it around on Solo from time to time!)

@Laurens. MaxSez… . Stability… It’s the wing/spoiler configuration me thinks…

I’m an apple user who just started flying the Dash last week. I flew a lot over this past weekend and I definitely haven’t mastered it yet but I would say I’m very comfortable with it now.

I mastered it. The first time I flew was in a severe Crosswind landing at KASE, I did pretty decent (To my standards)
Plus It’s the plane I fly on most in RL (CaribbeanLife)
At first I found it hard, but after a few weeks I’ve got it nailed down!
That design does not help, it’s unstable in the wind and prone to gear collapse
I literally just hit Grade 4 yesterday, and these winds got me feeling like a novice in the Dash 8. Just got it on Friday. .
The first day I got it, couldn’t keep it straight in the air, haven’t flown it since.
@C_Baccari… MaxSez… No guts no glory. Strap it on again. I’m confidant you can master it then fly a Super Decathlon & a Spitfire. There shady ladies as well.

I got it this morning. It is very sensitive to turbulence. I had the seatbelt sign on the full duration of the flight LAX to PSP in Live.
