I just uploaded my model of the Douglas O-43 to flightsim and simviation. Hopefully, it will be there tomorrow. Douglas designed several observation aircraft for the USAAC between the wars. The O-43 was next to last in the series and had a parasol wing rather than a gull wing or a biplane of the earlier models. I really wasn't going to model this aircraft until I found beautiful 3 views by Peter Westburg and a actual photo of the cockpit showed up on the US Cockpits website. I used this project as a test for doing emissive back lighted gauges in FSDS.
Hope you like it.

Early example of a stealth aircraft? So ugly that you look straight through it to avoid feeling nauseous..! Nice work, you've really captured the lines of this, er, idiosyncratic airplane! :salute:

There was a O-43 at Skyhaven, Rochester, New Hampshie Airport about 10 years ago. It belonged to the FBO. Some eager beaver struck the tail with a snowplow. They repaired it and it flew away. Contrary to some people's opinion, it was quite handsome for it's day, with it's elliptical wings and the fact that it was a monoplane when the rest of the world was biplanes. A relatively big aircraft it was a slow mover. The one at Skyhaven had a blue body with orange wings.
