At the moment, I'm cruising down the west coast of Africa.. just made the crossing back to the main land from Gran Canaria.. Most flying done between 2500 and 3500'.. FS should have a "realism' option for cleaning out sand clogged air filters!!!
Flying this airplane off water will be yet another adventure.. With 250 mies of range.. and I'm assuming LESS with the canoes strapped on... hmmm.... Short hop training sorties seem appropriate.
So far, I have found the following variants..:
-621 Trainer with uncowled Mongoose engine, two pits, square rudder,and tall wire wheels.
-Same airplane but on floats.
-621 Trainer with uncowled Mongoose engine, two pits.. and later smaller fatter wheels.
-Same airplane on floats.
-621 Trainer with uncowled Lynx engine, two pits.. rounded rudder and tall wire wheels.
-621 Trainer with uncowled Lynx engine, two pits plus gunners position.. rounded rudder and tall wire wheels.
-621 Trainer with uncowled Lynx engine, two pits plus navigators position.. rounded rudder and tall wire wheels.
and I'll stop now... because THAT isn't even HALF the variations of this wonderful airframe!
No wonder Nigel calls it "THE AVRO PROJECT"
He has certainly taken on a huge project... one that can 'evolve'.. because trying to release all of this at once.. whew...
Cheers.. and lifting a glass in respect of Sir Nigel..
