Let me know when you bring the V tail out.

@cavaricooper Nice. Funny though to see you griping about the same things I do. The polygons in the distance. Ridiculous airport lights... lol It is indeed a nice, smooth model to fly now. Really reminds me of the Real Air days.

Hi Rob,

Hope you're well. Thanks for this masterpiece, it is an absolute delight to fly this bird. The only problem I have is, there's no other plane for me at the moment... well, I'll get over it. Make sure you get well soon, take care 

Mick

Thank you Mick. I'm currently learning MSFS livery painting (not just changing the default decals) and it's a steep learning curve. I hope to add some better liveries when I get my head round the challenge. Glad you enjoy the mod.

Oddly, I'm not a great fan of that V tail. I prefer the conventional tail, but I know the V tail has legions of admirers.

Seems I can't use the Mod in On Air Company. Its say the aircraft is not compatible because of the gross weight and empty weight differences, or is there a way?

It’s funny you say that Rob, the real N711X is a pretty V-tail that sat in the pull through hangars at Vandenburg years ago. Before the current owner, she was owned by an ex-Navy jock and had detailed Navy wings on either side of the cowl. She was BEAUTIFUL... but I much preferred to fly the A36. Still the V-tail is certainly ICONIC.

Will catch up with you soon.

Thanks Steve- looking forward to getting you a Bonanza Baptism 🙂

I'm dying to see what you come up with but I'm pretty sure nobody would blame you if you only do flight models. It makes such a difference, just incredible. 

Guys - I love this bird as much as the next BUT please do not post screenies that are just pretty images - they belong in the screenshot forum. Of course, if you are posting an image to demonstrate an issue, that's fine but no more "flight logs" please.

Despite being a bit dull, I'm guessing that's pointed at me. 

Strangely, I have many emails from Tom, congratulating me for exactly this sort of prose on AvSim.  Tom then even promoted some of these postings to Front Page News... things have changed. 

All I wanted to do was highlight the MANY HOURS of altruistic labor from someone who has been major player in the Flight Sim community for decades. It was not intended to be gratuitous, rather I was hoping persons would read the article and want to try this gem for themselves.  I also hoped they would want to reward such stellar labor at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_donations&business=XMBLBU72YLFMA&currency_code=GBP&Z3JncnB0= .

Abject apologies.

That’s how I took it and appreciated it very much, it was entertaining and much more welcome than the “troll” threads that the moderators let go on and on, and on...

No apologies necessary. I loved the dialogue and the pictures and, as you can see, they are still there. But this forum is mainly text based and I do not want to encourage endless posts with pictures of their latest flights. They belong in the screen caps forum.

All is well...

It looks cute, though it was demonised for structural integrity issues with the tail when exceeding Vne.  The fact that generally Vne was being exceeded due to a loss of control and impending CFIT which would destroy the aircraft anyway never seemed to be taken into account. 

The "Doctor Killer" reputation was greatly undeserved. It sprang from highly paid and very busy individuals who did not keep current, or do a proper weight and balance, rather showed up and overloaded the a/c and blasted off on a trip without prep.  The complex (and slippery) aircraft was soon ahead of the pilot, which then led to loss of flight path control and disaster. It was a brilliant (and iconic) design, but as mentioned, I still preferred the A36.  Obviously our Turbonormalized G36 is the latest and greatest version of them all.

The new doctor killer is now... drum roll... the sr22.
