differences
The 450 fly's like a 4, and looks inside like a 550.
the differences course between the G5 (or G550) to G450 does not really show the handling differences at all, so be ready for a big surprise, (when differencing in any direction).
Most differences courses, that go from G5/G550, to G450 have no G450 sim content.
so if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it might be a turkey.
buyer beware.,

To anyone interested
"The G5 has a huge wing and BMW/Rolls Royce engines."
I think that RR Aero is a completely different company to the auto side of things and therefore there is no such engine as a BMW/Rolls Royce.
I appreciate that this is an insignificant point in the context of the thread but being a Brit I dont want for us to have lost any more than we have already just by a slip of the tongue.![Ouch](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/shiner.gif)
If I am wrong I stand to be corrected, as I am usually.

Donk was designed by RR and built by RR.
BMW came along and bought it, just like the car division.
So now they are called BMW engines but they are actually RR in my head anyway.

I was surprised when I first read this as I presumed that the engines were built in Derby............
