>Hey Francois, > Could this bird look any better!!? Yes....if they threw some paint on the invisible pilot flying her! Any flying aircraft without a pilot doesn't look right.....;)Jerome

I am sure Jean-Marie will provide a pilot in the final model. The picture is just a preview of work in progress, Jerome. :-outta Francois :-wave________________________Francois A. "Navman" DumasAssociate Editor &Forums AdministratorAVSIM Online!email: [email protected]________________________

Wow! That's one neat helocopter!I guess I really need to do some serious practicing, as I wouldn't want to prang such a nice aircraft on its maiden flight!-brian

Cool. Looking forward to it. And hopefully it'll get a 3D pilot. I recall seeing a 3D pilot model somewhere that designers can use for their aircraft. Might have been at simviation.

Francois,Looking good, I mean the Chopper :-lolHave Fun :-jumpyhttp://avsim.com/hangar/air/bfu/logo70.gifAllan

Hey Francois, I noticed that there have been a few repaints of Jordan Moores huey online, I was wondering if you knew if jean-Marie allowed repaints of the wonderful Bell 47!? I have 5 already in both the floats and skids for myself, but would like to share if anyone is interested. I checked out the site, but do not speak French. Any thoughts?Michael
