Very nicely rendered but exceedingly difficult to fly. Unstable elevator trim, no working aileron trim, unstable yaw trim. Very little yaw control when on water. Most Widgeons flying today have some autopilot and are "Super" Widgeons with 270 hp (201 kW) Avco Lycoming GO-480-B1D flat-six piston engines and variable pitch props replacing the 200 hp (150 kW) Ranger L-440-5 air-cooled inverted six-cylinder inline engine with fixed pitch props. No 2D panel. Although the yaw and pitch trim can be seen in a new view, control of them using the keyboard is erratic.
