I just picked up this xxxxxxxxxxxx? This is one very difficult plane to fly. Ultra sensitive to any joystick movement. Has anyone flown her before? If so what do you think of the dynamics? Oh, and what's her name?







You guys know I can't resist a good quizz!

Way too easy! That's a Fairey Gannet!

And yes, it is too twitchy...

That would be Ito's Fairey Gannet...

Enjoy the free ride for now. The next edition of "Planespotters" will bring you all to your knees

clipper, i've been meaning to ask, where did you get your clipper (aircraft)?

looking good. i've been studying random aircraft for planespotters (no life)

It looks like it's pregnant!  ;D

Great shots, lots of candy-colours!

I agree with OMAG, it's pregnant.  Make no wonder its hard to fly and twitchy

Ouch!

She really bit you?

Yeah..I think it was my beak what scared her off....

Well done again Clipper.

Nice shots of an interesting aircraft. Some called it the ugliest aircraft in the world but that's debatable. I prefer the original AS.1 myself. According to the reports I've read the Gannet had excellent flying characteristics so if it's a tad twitchy I'm not sure the FS version is too accurate in that respect.

Thank you Hagar! I'm sure it's the fs version only. Surprising though for an Ito.....

Thanks for the great comments guys  Drum my man, here's the pregnant lady for you...http://www.simviation.com/fs2004vintage19.htm It's halfway down the page. There's also an additional texture for her here..http://www.simviation.com/fs2004vintage22.htm
Keep a steady hand, she'll scream and bite at the slightest touch!! (just like the girl below!)

actually i was wrong. I was looking for the DeHavilland Comet. thought it was called a clipper. thank you however, and keep it up!

Better too twitchy than too unresponsive.....
would you prefer a B-17 or a Gannet?

On the basis of what criteria?. Looks, performance, historical value? etc... I haven't spent time up in a
