Discovering the Robin

I didnt actually have this bird yet untill today... cant say I wasnt pleasantly surprised when I found out she had a virtual cockpit. :)

An impressive piece of French kit

I just need to take her a bit to the limit...

But anyhow she flies great, very stable and responsive to inputs.

Well, time for bed then... damn... ;D

Hope you like em. :)

I always thought she was pretty, but that VC shot absolutely sold me! So, a-hunting I will go!

Stunning shots of a very photogenic plane!

Great shots!  I like the Robin too, but am also missing some v/c gauges.  Any suggestions?

Thanks for those comments.
As for the gauges, I thought they were supposed to be that way... in real aircraft you see that too sometimes, that non-essential duplicates arent present. :)

I believe it is, but if I remember correctly, there's an update out for the model!

Surely one of the best ga-planes out there!

Great shots Alpha, as always!

Yes indeed Nemo it is the Robin DR400, with the FS2004 model update which I found on avsim.

Thanks for the comments (and statement, Ashar ;D)!
