Good day to all at Simviation.

What I am looking for is a small winged aircraft, for use as a patrol aircraft over suburbs assisting the police or traffic control.

Must be capable of slow and low flying, low stall speed, be able to be airborne up to 3 hours and be able to land on rough terrain. Seating capacity pilot + 2 passengers.

Any recommendations. My OR FS2004 with Win 7

Thank you

Hello there Sappie, there is an Edgley Optica available which may do the trick.

Cheers, For Danglia.

+1 for the Optica.

What the Tomball, Houston, Police use for traffic, etc, observation!

Excellent for the job!

P.S...I use the "Bensen", "Xenon" and "Barnett" Gyrocopters for low level exploration.

Try this Foxbat. Cockpit is 1ft wider than Cesna 152 and is powered by a Rotax 912 engine. Lovely Police plane, made in Ukraine.

Good day from Fish Hoek, beautiful day, so far no wind.!!!!!

Thank you for the response wrt to slow and low flying aircraft's.

I select the Edgley Optica for urban patrol, and the Vulcanair P68 for Highway patrol.

Fozzer, I have tried many times to fly a helicopter, sad to say every flight ended up in a crash.

If you are not working today, have a great flying day.

..never fear...

I've been trying to master the mystery of Helicopter Flying for the past 15 years in the Flight Sims....

I give up, every time!....Its NEVER going to work!... ...!

Now...Gyrocopters/Gyroplanes are a different kettle of fish altogether!

They fly just like a regular aeroplane, with just a single, free-spinning, rotary wing overhead (no tail rotor required!).

They are loads of fun, and can take off and land, in a couple of feet, anywhere.

The little single seat "Bensen" Gyrocopter (FS 2004, but also works in FSX) is one of my favourites, it is a great little craft for slow, low level, explorations!

And how it all works!... ...>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8IB-5PbL9U

Try it...you'll like it!.... ....!

Hi Fozzer,

I am glad to hear that there are also other people, that find it difficult to fly a helicopter.

Thank you for the link to download the Benson Gyro copter. Well I am sure a person can get hooked, flying it when you have a minute or 2 spare doing nothing.

The link to your tube is also great seeing the 2 seat tandem model.

Why don't the authorities at airports where there are a lot of birds, use gyro-copters to chase them away?. There are not many Gyro-copters in the Western Cape. I think it must be due to the strong South-Easter and North-Western wind.

Have a Great Day. The time is slowly moving to 22:00 when it is time to sit down for your SUPPER, enjoy every bit of it.

Talyorcraft Auster Mk V.

Depending on how rough the landings might be, another possible candidate that is a much more substantial aircraft might be PAD's MU-2E.

Applying the standard MU-2 Solitaire N924PD paint job to the E model makes for a passable police ship, even has "PD" in the registration.

Was absent during the recent pharmacy robbery two days ago:

Didn't seem to have a problem buzzing around during Friday's Tomball Homecoming parade. It was low enough that I could make out the word "Police" in gold on its side. The new one ($85,000) is painted black and white.

This ultralite is used in the uSA and Australia for just that purpose.
