"It’s simply become my main FS ship, period. I can’t say I’ve flown such a seamless aircraft in a while; it’s just the light twin I’ve always wanted. As soon as I heard Just Flight was doing a Duchess, I had to review it. I’m glad I persisted as this package is a Grand-Slam, in my book... It’s a steal for the price" Avsim.com

"The aircraft succeeds in getting the balance right between comprehensive instrumentation and ease of use, making it perfectly suited to all pilots, whether experienced or beginners." Microsimulateur

"A real gem that is as easy and complex to fly as you would want, which truly reflects what it is like in real life... For the price this is as good value as any other similar product out there but this has all the hallmarks of a really professional job... From the outside the aircraft looks equally as good with the very refined lines of this classic design very visible... The detail is superb... The sounds supplied with the aircraft lived up to expectations" PC Flight
