A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and simulator background
The DoubleEnder configuration in Got Friends' manual places two Rotax engines on the same longitudinal line. It uses 35-inch tyres and a free-castering tailwheel. Pitch trim moves the horizontal stabiliser.

The second handle position extends flap area without changing the angle and locks the spoilerons. The remaining settings are 0, 20, 40 and 60 degrees. This area change is a separate part of the high-lift arrangement.

Pitch trim moves the horizontal stabiliser. Inline Rotax engines, 35-inch tyres and a free-castering tailwheel define the represented configuration, with an optional Type 400A flight director.

The DoubleEnder configuration in Got Friends' manual places two Rotax engines on the same longitudinal line. It uses 35-inch tyres and a free-castering tailwheel. Pitch trim moves the horizontal stabiliser.
Its flap handle has an area-extension position that does not change flap angle and locks the spoilerons. The other positions are 0, 20, 40 and 60 degrees. Optional Type 400A flight-director equipment accompanies the cockpit.

History & design
From Super Cub to twin-engine bush aircraft
The DoubleEnder grew through successive revisions from a Piper PA-18 Super Cub into a purpose-built backcountry aircraft. Its two Rotax engines use a tractor-and-pusher arrangement, while automatic leading-edge slats, large spoilerons and a freely castoring tailwheel serve the short-field role. The extensive glazing gives the pilot a view of the landing area that is central to the design. Got Friends brought the aircraft to MSFS after its Wilga project, carrying forward its wear and environmental-interaction systems.
