Version History
The Rutan Model-158 was a twin-engine racing aircraft, developed by Burt Rutan (at his company 'Scaled Composites'), for Bob Pond (1924-2007), a honorable aviator and inventor, to be flown at the Reno Air Races back in the early 90's.
Bob Pond envisioned modern aircraft racers competing at Reno, replacing the use of warbirds. The "Pond-Racer" was a twin-boom all-composite (graphite) aircraft, which was powered by two Electramotive automobile engines capable of 1,000 hp each.
New version 3.0 (for X-Plane 12) is a complete overhaul of the Aircraft.
The update covers about 90% of the core assets
.

'During my testing, I found the VSKYLABS Rutan Model-158 to be both challenging and fun to fly. It’s well-modelled, especially the cockpit, includes some wonderful engine sounds, and is topped off by having a highly rewarding flight model
