Hi, Pete --

Converted files mostly work, depending upon version.  However, for the
monowheel, 98+ MSFS versions don't seem to understand a "four-geared"
aircraft, and after loading (on runway), she just bounces around until
destruction.  Attempts to fix futile.  So, using Flight Shop, I
patched three wheels (trigear) onto Graham C's source code and fixed
it that way.  In FS98, though, flaps down creates an enormous pitch
up, beyond trim to correct.  But in FS02, it's manageable, and very
responsive little airplane, and in FS02 the engine sound's a bit more
Rotax like.  Anyone's welcome to the files.  Let me know.

Best,
Fred F.
