Barefoot over Brno

I've been trying to get to grips with 'realistic' VFR flight in the Aerobat - but I found it strange to ignore the more modern navigation aids when just concentrating on piloting properly - so have gone back in time to the early days of aviation, and a Czech classic monoplane - the 1923 Avia BH.5.

Here we are at Medlanky, Brno, where I did some touch and gos.

The plane has quite a faithfull exterior model and I like the sound that goes with it.

Touching and going... it comes with a great, simple manual too.

The flight model seems to me to be a bit off though. It's supposed to have a ceiling of 6600ft but I got it to land at Lukla no problem. :-?

After an hour or so of doing circuits we set off on a short flight to Breclav near the border with Austria. My home town of Brno looks much better in FS9 than FSX. It does help to have a few add-ons of course. The compass is a pop-up.

The title 'Barefoot' is because that's what 'bosa' means in Czech.
Flight to Breclav continues in second thread...
