Widgeon and Porterfield...

[ATI_7500]

Basic VC.
Get her here: http://www.mudpond.us/fs2002_aircraft_index.html

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This VC almost has payware quality!

A sign on the panel says "Aerobatics prohibited". Why??

[Omag 2.0]

Yea! Great planes man! You keep the good ones comming!

Great to see the Porterfield's VC! Nice!

Ok, downloadtime...  ;D

It's probably a club aircraft and they don't want just "any Yahoo" to mishandle her, leading to overstress and premature fatigue. Not to mention unreported or just plainly non-identified incidents by pilots who wouldn't recognise overstress until a wing folded up.

Something to think about next time you hire a club aircraft capable of aerobatics.....

It could also have an AD which prohibits aerobatics on the type after so many hours, or until a mod is completed. Or, possibly some minor damage or fatigue which would prohibit safe aerobatics on the particular aircraft.

The "Why" actually was a rhetorical question.

I kinda figured that, I just have too much time on my hands  ;) and you never know, someone out there might find it informative.

That guy in the Porterfiled........ he's got my hat!  ;D

[ATI_7500]

LoL!

He'll probably be sued by the aeroclub...
