Tim Conrad has released a great little aircraft.
It`s an "Evans VP-1"

From the "readme":

"FS2004 Evans VP-1 Homebuilt Sport Aircraft
Designed by W.S. Evans, while an engineer at Convair, the VP-1 is an easy to build and fly sport aircraft. Made mostly of wood, with all-moving tail surfaces, and fabric covering. Powered by a modified Volkswagon 1600 CC, 60 HP engine."

I found it over at "no nodes"
Look for "vp-1.zip'

It`s well detailed with a great VC.

It has a very credible air file for this kind of of aircraft and is a joy to fly.

That looks like a hoot to fly but I'd rather fly a Colomban CR-15 "Cricket" which has a closed cockpit.
