From Sow's Ear to.......

You know the saying.

Remember this old lady? First I gave her a new panel.



Then I gave her a spruce-up. Her textures are photo-real. OK - trouble is they are grey scale - at least mine are. So I decided to give her a bit of face powder and lipstick.





Then I did a few tweaks on her FDE - she didn't complain  :)



So how does she fly? Well now you can feel she's a bit of a heavy-arsed old broad.



She's very flyable, she'll hover quite nicely. But she's a bit more challenging and demanding now. You have to fly her all the time. Treat her with respect - give her more time than something smaller, lighter and more flighty.



Have to say I like her a lot. Carrier landings are - let's say - a bit different now with her.

But the original textures are a bit colourless which is why I tarted the old girl up (see below)



And the FDE changes I've made change the feel quite a lot as well. I'll upload the files if people want em
