I found this interesting photo for you all. If you are aware of the great freeware Erickson SkyCrane helio package just recently released you will like this photo. The big one you can get now, the little should be along shortly in a great new little package called FS2k4 :-)http://digilander.libero.it/a109epower/helics-n229ac-011.htm

That is a cool pic, saw it the other day!There is a cool little Robie you can get right now, made in GMAX and a ton of fun to fly!http://library.avsim.net/search.php?Search...=Root&Go=SearchRegards, Michaelhttp://mysite.verizon.net/res052cd/mybannercva1.jpgCalVirAir International VAwww.calvirair.comCougar Mountain Helicopters & Aviationwww.cgrmtnhelos.com

Well I'll vouch for the magnificance for Hovercontrol's Erickson Aircrane. :-rotor Those guys did a simply amazing job! The auto hover system is a blast! The exterior textures are superior and the panel (you have several choices) is top notch. There's too much to mention here.If you like helos and don't have this one yet...run like H**L to get it. Thanks hovercontrol guys!Adam

Oh yeah...and not to mention the sound package...fantastic!!! :-jumpy Adam

Mike,Interesting shot. There are also 3 fascinating promotional videos on the Erickson website at http://www.erickson-aircrane.com/videocover.aspI think the Hovercraft guys did a wonderful job of capturing the look of the Erickson Skycrane. I'm at Erickson's headquarters every couple of weeks and it's really something to see all of those helicopters in various stages of maintenance. Also some of the creative attachments the Erickson people are coming up with.Bruce
