I have tried it but it doesnt seem to work, so that makes me wonder if any FSX aircraft will work in FS9 ???

NO.

FS default models are rarely, if ever, backwards compatible - what's the point?

They're processed differently, have different modelling features, etc. etc., so even if you could by some miracle, transport the mdl file, you 'd probably end up with a textureless, unanimated lump.

You'd think there was a free downloadable addon for FS2004.  You checked? ;)

DH = De Havillan, the 'original' UK company

DHC = De Havilland CANADA.  Initially, set up to manufacture DH designs in Canada, but then produced it's own world famous designs, starting with the Chipmunk, Beaver, Otter, Caribou, Buffalo, Twin Otter, DHC-7 "Dash-7: then the DHC-8 now known as the Dash-8...

THe DH-2 was one of De Havilland's first designs, made by the Aircraft Company (Airco) in WW1.  IT was the first effective British fighter - pusher biplane, rotary engine.

Search on SimV, AVSIM, FlightSim, etc. for a DHC-2 Beaver.

Or even google it.  Type in:

FS2004 DHC-2 Beaver
FS2004 deHavilland Beaver
FS9 DHC-2 Beaver
etc.

It suppose to be the FSX one? if not then i don't want others as the all kinda suck compare to the one in FSX. I have the Aerosoft one but never fly it cause the VC just sucks (graphically)
