The represented Sequoia configuration
Echo's rendition uses the 180 hp AEIO-360-B1E, a constant-speed Hartzell propeller and an inverted fuel system. It retains analogue instruments and direct mechanical controls. The product's published cruise and stall figures describe that rendition.
Brief; History; Specifications — Falco F8L, Sequoia 180 hp configuration
Falco F8L
Stelio Frati designed the Falco in 1955 as a two-seat Italian sport aircraft. Wood and fabric construction, a tapered wing and direct mechanical controls form the airframe described by Echo Simulations.
Echo models the Sequoia configuration with a 180 hp Lycoming AEIO-360-B1E, constant-speed Hartzell propeller and inverted fuel system. An analogue cockpit accompanies that installation.

Grumman F3F-2
The F3F was the last biplane fighter to serve on the U.S. Navy front line. The F3F-2 was the second of three F3F versions, with greater fuel capacity and range than the F3F-1; the Naval Aviation Museum also records Marine Corps service for the type.

Speed limits in the manual
The manual gives a Mach 0.80 limit, flap limits of 220, 175 and 165 KIAS, and a 220 KIAS gear limit. VMO varies with the ventral-fuel configuration; the published 447–449-knot maximum cruise figures describe a different performance measure.
