The "F" model, (still wondering why someone decided to call it a Falcon) as the "F" designates flaps, is a good plane but in my opinion,?would not?need flaps if it had the same wing as the Standard. My opinion is the designer wanted more speed, shortened the wings a bit, got it, but gained take off length as well as landing length. Probably you're good in the used market either way but again, in my opinion, new, 1600 more?US dollars at the time, an absolute waste of $. John@ ?

X-Airs are French designed, but made in India. The flaps were added in the hopes of making it a suitable entry trainer for the Indian Air Force.?

Very few have been built compared to the Standard.

Falcon was name given to it in UK same as Hawk for H model, just sounds a bit better than F model and H model.
Best part of the Falcon model was the tail section, the best combo would be the Falcon tail and the Standard wing which is far superior.
I have never?been a fan of?the falcon aileron system, it is a very bad design?and in a steep turn at low speed with full flap, it falls out of the sky, not that you should be in this attitude, but there is no attitude you can get into with the standard Xair that will bite you.
