Hello Chums.... :)...!

A few pics of my latest acquisition, The Italian Riveria Amphibian, FN333.

Quote:
The classy looking Riviera amphibian is "Seabee" in Italian style...  Built by Nardi and Siai-Marchetti, supposedly only 23 were built during the early 1960ies by Siai-Marcheti, the majority of them being sold to America. As every italian design, it is built to go fast. It seats 4 people including the pilot, the reversible propeller gives it superb manouverability in water (and taxi).
It is a high-wing anphibian aircraft with double tailfin and pusher propeller. Read notes before flying! (FN333_check.htm, FN333_ref.htm & panel_FN333.htm, plus the document you are currently reading.
This model features advanced flight dynamics, detailed external model, detailed photreal virtual cockpit and virtual cabin with night lighting, custom effects, etc.
End.

A very nice, multi-purpose machine, with a good turn of speed from it's 250 HP Lycoming engine with it's Pusher-prop.

Nice plane, that - I've downloaded it meself, even though I'm a confirmed cigar-tube flyer.

Hey Foz, why the 'F' disguise? Less inscrutable than Pablo, I guess, although maybe not, as Pablo and Paul are but variations on the same monicker, depending on which side of the Bay of Biscay you regard it from.

Now where'd I put that starting handle?

;D

I like that addon, the only thing I noticed is the "clouds before prop" issue many planes are having in FSX.
But I guess that has to do sth. with "genuine compatibility issue" as MS says....,

Oh and nice pics,

Cheers,
Fabian
