Anything that can land on a grass strip and survive.


That will be pretty much anything between a Cessna 150 and this then (or this)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Recently, I'd have to say my 'default' C172N, and the Ryan S-C-W. For putting around the patch, I couldn't ask for more!

For those who are relatively new here, this is the bird I love to fly, especially in this livery.....

for simulations anything carenado comes first!

Then comes anything radial.

personally though my home cockpit is going to be modeled after a basic 172 :)

In real life: I held the controls of a Kadet bipe, early sixties, used as crop duster, flying over the Sumidero canion in Chiapas state, MX.

Held the controls (with a weird electric control for the prop) of a Me-108 Tifoon, belonging to the Confederate Air Force, who were invited for the opening of Cuernavaca airport. I was a reserve skydiver for that show, and found the Confederate Air Force a friendly bunch of ex-war pilots. I do not like their change of name! (now Consolidated Air Force: how ridiculous!).

With Robert as instructor on a Maule, learned how to keep a straight course on the tarmac, then took-off from Puerto escondido & flew to Chacahua lagoon, practicing a course & keeping an eye on the ball, then back & started aproach, landing until touch-down ... then Robert took over the controls, because of tail-dragger peculiarities on the ground (felt like a rear engined VW was on ice, with low pressure on the tires & going top speed!).

An assortment of ultralights, with the instructor at my side. Have never flown a full size aircraft without an instructor at my side.

Have done 30 Skydives, the first two in a tandem.

In FS2004, one of my favorites is the Ford Trimotor (over the Andes, from Mendoza to Santiago). But Radials, Bipes & Amphibians are my choice before others.

Also like the Autogyros. Helicopters & airliners are not my choice.

Anything with a radial engine 8-) 8-)

Amen to that!

If God wanted aircraft engines to be straight Pratt & Whitney would have made them that way!
