Well worth the money. Acouple of years ago they had a brand new sim from Germany and it wasn't like a 337. Over the two day period I helped them configure it to be very much like the 337.

Jose, I don't know about your '69 model but my '76 337g has aileron gap seals. I believe it came this way from the factory. I am not aware of any wing strut mods that would give a 7.5 mph increase.
