Nice looking ESS 2000 kit you’ve got there and the 181 octane tune

A350s seem like badass planes... would love to fly one and see how it compares to a 787 (which i've flown numerous times and love).

IMO- 787s are pretty much similar to A-350
I work with Singapore airlines and we are offering both lol.

i've flown a Virgin 787 and loved the cabin humidity and overall pressurization... very little lag... i hear the 350 is even better in that regard

Hydraulics, I would assume. Old school low rider style.

Agreed! Interms of turbulance and overall ride quality, 350s are argueably the best atm. Plus its made out of Carbon fiber

Main difference 787 vs A350'

B787 no bleed air
A350 bleed air

There are discussions about possible toxic air floating around cabins by bleed air systems, due to very smal oil particles coming from the engines.

Give me the 787 in that regard.

Did they also insist that the wheel alignment was out, the brake fluid needed flushing and transmission oil was old ?
