December 26, 20169 yr My daughter bought me a great (used) book for Christmas. "The Accidental Airline" see here for background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Charlotte_Airlines After I finish it, I'll put together something on floats for us to explore along the rugged BC Coast :smile: If you can find a copy, read it!! Great book for when you are snowed in Bert
December 27, 20169 yr sold, I got my copy coming. I read a little bit of it in the preview on Amazon, left me wanting more. I also have a book called Skyfaring, haven't read it yet, but it looks good, a memoir by a retired 747 captain. Ciao!

December 30, 20169 yr Moderator Bryan, that is a very "modernized" version of the WWII version of the Bobcat. We chose to model the version that had the highest production run so as to best replicate what was most often seen. The earliest versions of the aircraft were extremely primitive in comparison to the "newer version" we chose to model. Fr.

January 4, 20179 yr Now that I finally have the plane up and running as intended, its fun to fly. And I can see the cockpit detail as well, a little dirty look, nice. And the vibration effects are perfect. Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3
