what a beauty...a real classic looking bird if ever there was one  ;D ..and what about the widgeon then that's pretty cool too don't ya think..

Very nice! I think she'd look a bit better in Candy-apple red than black though...

Joe Binka?!

I am so downloading this!

Wow! "Nice radials..." if you know what I mean...

Wonderful shots dude! :-)

Nice ones!

I can only agree.

Mhm thats some pilot in there.

Where can I get this one?

Well done, lemoncat... now tell us where you got that, or else.

It's at AVsim...

Is it me or is that thing hard to turn?

Might it be because I have my realism set too high?

Also, I don't seem to be getting the wake effects you are showing...

Lemoncat!  Where did you get that beautiful "aircraft"!  ;)  Seriously though, Avsim I hope?  :)

You're not alone Jordon, this thing is darn near impossible to turn. :-/ Very dissepointing because otherwise this is a GREAT aircraft.

I have gotten it to turn by really laying on the rudder...

I notice there is no slideslip gauge...does anyone know how one can be added?  I think that two radio compasses were put in my mistake.

I found some of the effects...Nick's Prop Dust effects are what you need...

I couldn't find the engine smoke one, but I replaced the one in the aircraft.cfg with the one from the Volpar (which uses the one from the Howard 500 I do believe)...

I just dowloaded it, havent got to fly it yet, wifey is on the computer I have FS on.......

Kinda reminds me of the Fantasy Island plane....

avsim...
thanx for the replies..it's one superb plane that's for sure..
jordonj don't know what you mean by turning.. on the ground if so try unlocking your tail wheel
it turns fine for me as for the effects there built in you may need to check and make sure youv'e got the right file effects installed...

There wouldn't by any chance be a deployable water rudder...?? (Ctrl+W, if there's no handle in the VC). Also, I've found that most amphibs turn better in the water with full back-pressure on the stick, as well as plenty of power initially. Haven't flown one in RL, but what I've heard is that you pull back all the way until you're "on the step" during takeoff, then you ease off a bit so it can gather enough speed for Vr.
