Does anybody out there have any good ideas for freeware GA aircraft? I have been flying the heavy metal and fast jets a lot lately and i would like a nice change to low and slow flying for once.
I recently downloaded the Maule and I love it!

Try the Lancair Legacy found here:

A couple of repaints found here:

I can recommend the DH Tiger Moth by Warwick Carter, available right here on SimV: it handles beautifully and looks good as well!
Real airplanes have open cockpits and two wings...

This
Aviat Husky is my personal favourite at the moment. It's what I 'traded' my Maule in for.
Some pics
here just to give you a quick idea of this fine bird.
Cheers,
TSC.

Don't they have five?
Two at front, two at the back and one that is a bit sticky up at the back, unless it is a "V" tail, then it is six

I have been having a lot of fun flying various STOL aircraft lately, pulling the power back to simulate an engine failure and seeing where I could possibly set it down in places like the Grand Canyon in Arizona. A particular favorite lately, with amazing short-field performance, is Anton Nikolaev's ANTONOV AN-14 (an14ussr.zip). You won't believe where you can land this thing, and you'll be even more amazed when you get back out! OK, so it's not a GA airplane, but maybe with a civilian repaint....

If you want something bigger and faster, yet still easy to fly and good for bush, Otter NG by Eugene Heyart. Its really everything you could ever need: great STOL characteristics, one engine, flies at 10000ft at 220KIAS (cruise), easy on frames, and it flies like a dream.

The DC6BUAL is FREE from
Classic Airliners It's about the most-complex FREEware plane out there. When you can start this plane from Cold & dark you can consider yourself a
pilot.
Filename: dc6bual.zip SimV has many repaints and links for this type.
