Departing Queenstown NZ.

The freeware Howard DGA15

Lot of memories - was married there in '62.  No Catalina but Reeve Airlines did operate a G21 Goose.

It is - just bring money to X-aviation.  43% discount if you own the spark plug version.

Off Fairoaks in the UK.

I can tell by your post you have a question.  What I'm saying is regardless of how flawless RXP GTN750 is, at this point in XP11's development it is persona non grata and XP says 'my way or the highway'.  This can or will change - the big question is when?  XP says 'addon developers stay alert' and they say 'who, me'?

And when I was a leather-jacketed would be Marlon Brando in my early teens it was considered de-rigeur. Probably the single thing that prompted me to move on out of that phase of my development!

I missed all of that and became an American teenager - levis and Clark's (English) desert boots.

This has nothing to do with the RXP GTN though.

Perhaps not but the name of the game is XP11.51 and Laminar rules.

Nice pic!

When I was a boy in Scotland during the forties, Brylcream was required before going to the pictures and other entertainments.

Brylcream?   In that era, I would more likely suspect Wildroot!!  Great aircraft! 😄

 

Since 'Fearless Fosdick' was American, his product was probably used by the USAAF guys.

Hey you've still got the jet - excellent shots.

Yes, I'd read, before, about some "unusual"..."external" loads/items...been transported in the Beavers (anything that could not fit inside...), and I read some more today...

I've always wondered if the (external) loads are not symmetric (your image shows exact symmetry...🙂...), then, in RW, it must pull to one side or the other, I would presume, or, as you've said, cause tail flutter, in flight...a "little" exciting...🙂...sure...

It's all a matter of balance and added drag.  Just hanging floats adds a lot of drag.

Interesting picture with "external" load...(I'd seen pictures of such loading, in some Bush flying stories, but, not around here...)...

The paint-job looks great too...!

Not only on the float struts but plywood fits on the spreader bars (horizontal between floats).  We used to carry moose antlers in the 'V' between the lift and jury struts on a Piper.  Sometimes a little exciting tail flutter.

Be difficult to spot the wreck in all that snow 🙂.
