Started thinking about the Navy N3N that Maam sim had handed off last year to another modeler for completion.
Thought I would post a question here in the forum to see if there were any updates or news.

I too was looking forward to the N3N (that I erroneously once referred to as a Stearman), so I'd be pleased for some news

This is my buddy's Stearman (I know the thread is about the N3N, but I just had to post these!).
His name is Lantz, and is a retired PRCS (Senior Chief Parachute Rigger). We worked together at Saufley Field, Pensacola, back in the early 90s as Advancement Exam Writers. Lantz lives at Roy E. Ray Airport (airpark), near Bayou La Batre, AL. NC
Rows of "not-Stearmans", parked at NAS Minneapolis (modern-day KMSP) in 1941 (from the Minnesota State Archives). Same place George Bush Sr. earned his Naval Aviator wings in the Minnesota winter of 42/43, but he did it in Stearmans.
No worries Roger, I did the same thing..at an airshow..to the owner of the N3N - I won't make that mistake again lol - that was probably 30 years ago now and a full quarter of my ass is still singed
Bomber 12th - YOU have a ton of really nice reference material in your library, haven't you..
Chief - yer buddy's got a nice aeroplane
so want to fly this and the float version in FSX
Yes, sorry i had to give up on that little yellow peril, heywoood. Batteries completely depleted. But that was then, this is now...
It is indeed true that a gentleman has asked for the source files for him and his comrades to finish up the N3N. Both Bill and me gave our consent but i have not heard from the guy ever since. And that's already more than a year ago, maybe even two...
So i am as much in doubt of what's going to happen with the N3N as you are, atleast atm.
If everything fails i can always give it another shot myself. Feel much better now..
I know all about the low battery Jan, trust me...been there - bought the faded t-shirt
..and I feel much better knowing that you might just on the slightest little chance, be thinking or mulling the possibility of revisiting the project...
