This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default Asobo Savage Cub aircraft, primarily aimed at making the aircraft flight model and overall performance more closely match the actual aircraft, providing a much closer experience to flying the real aircraft.  Multiple changes have been made to the flight model parameters, and the aircraft Weight and Balance, which are detailed in the included Change Log file, which can be found under the Documentation folder.

This aircraft has also been enabled for use as a Aerotow tow plane for launching small gliders like the default DG LS8-18.  This is an ideal tow plane for smaller gliders, because it does not overpower them and will tow them at a much more realistic slower speed and climb rate.  It will now appear as an available option on the LAUNCH METHOD menu for all gliders.

This beautifully modelled, go anywhere bush aircraft is a lot of fun and very easy to fly.  Learning to fly it properly can be a highly satisfying experience, and will improve your fundamental skills as a pilot.  It also opens up many more places to explore in the incredible MSFS simulated world.  As stated by ZLIN Aviation, the manufacturer of this aircraft, "Runways are optional".

This mod is easily installed by simply unzipping and copying the entire aircraft folder to the MSFS Community folder.  It will then replace the existing default Asobo Savage Cub aircraft in the MSFS aircraft selection screen, and it will also continue to utilize all of the existing available Liveries.  To uninstall the mod and return to using the MSFS default aircraft, simply remove it from the Community folder.
