P-40X over the Channel...

[patchz]

Bentwaters to Dunkirk via Ramsgate and Calais, then back. With clipped wings and a contra-rotating prop on a Merlin engine, it's a shame this bird was never built.











Thanks for looking.

Haven't reached that one yet.

[color=#000000]Thanks Doug.
I seem to do much better with props than what you like to call suck and blow jobs.

Goodly morning all...

Well Larry the jet engines either worked or they did not work, there was no in-between as far as I know.

Now the big old piston engines could be cantankerous at times and they gave you a lot more to do when flying but they never were as quiet as the jet engine especially in the front end.

[color=#000000]I remember when I was a kid putting together plastic models, I loved the jets. And when I first got FS9 and found out you could add aircraft and got the F-14, I did. But now, I much prefer props, whether it's 1, 2, or 4. And

I am especially fond of radials, mostly due to the sound. I just got my COLA, so I bought the A2A J-3 and F4U Corsair. But the sound of the Corsair is not as good as the Alpha Bleu Ciel Corsair for FS9, so I aliased the A2A

sound to the Alpha. Hope A2A doesn't find out I aliased their payware sound to a freeware one.

Hi Larry...

I noticed in your post you mentioned one, two or four engine propeller driven piston pounders....

Well if I could have sold all the kids and the old girl this is what I would have bought...

Yes I have always been partial to three engine aircraft like the Ford Tri-Motor and Junkers JU52 but I wish that Stout had produced more than two of these fine aircraft.

The Link is a good read also.

Anyways thought I would just let you know what I like...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

[color=#000000]Sorry Doug, I'm not buying you one for Christmas.

[Flying Trucker]

Goodly morning all...

I bet they would take Pay Pal off you Larry but if you do buy it for me would you have them paint it in Christmas colours...red and green....

I am not sure it one of them made it to Oshkosh last year or not.  I do believe only one is flying now however it did say there was a third airframe available.

I know this is off topic but if you do get a chance get a ride in that Ford Tri-motor that does the tours down your way...awesome aircraft...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
