Default RV-7A in Flight Sim World

Haven't seen it mentioned here yet. There's a new flight simulator product from DoveTail in the Steam environment called Flight Sim World. It's in early access, but it is fairly robust. One of the aircraft modeled is an RV-7A. I just took it out for a spin around my home airport, it looks pretty good and seems to fly well. The flight model responds to control inputs as I would expect and what I see in real life in the Cessna 172 that I'm building time in. Not having much stick time in an RV, I can't speak to the quality of the RV model.

I'm not regretting the $20 CAD that I shelled out for it, this might even give me a platform to run through my first test flight plan. Of course I wouldn't be expecting it to be accurate enough to replace actual RV stick time, it is only a game platform.

I'd be interested to hear what some of you who have RV experience think of it.
