Coming Soon

Hey folks

I've been working on a few projects and I have one that is fairly close and should be coming out soon. The BT-13 Valiant, Vibrator as it is known by the student pilots that flew it. I have no idea how much time is left until completion but it shouldn't be much longer.

Hey Ted

Thanks bud. I love that lil PT-22, for such a simple little aircraft it's a blast to fy.

I think I have a handle on what everything is in this birdie now so it's back to building time for all these parts n pieces.

That VC is shaping up to be your best one yet....looking forward to the BT-13.....I have a special fondness for training aircraft.

Thanks Tim

It's a full lil cockpit, hard to find info on some of the switches and knobs in there.

There is a good clear picture of the trim wheels and a little bit of a top view of the throttle quadrant here Chris, I hope this helps you. Your work is looking good.

Coming along nicely...

That VC has more bells and whistles than my most seductive under shorts.

waaaaay to much info Obio buddy

looking great, such a neglected machine in FS i'm really looking forwards to this! that VC is looking real nice... plus a baggage compartment!

**NCGent** · April 1st, 2011, 14:25

It will soon be time to test fly the BT-13. The flight manuals, maps and even a pack of smokes to settle the nerves have been loaded. My flight bag and emergency gear have been stowed away.
I'll let you all know how the flight goes and if I'm not heard from again...well...you know what that means.

Tim, that is in fact an egg timer for those long training flights that just seem to last forever, that bring on those pesky little boiled egg cravings that must be satisfied. Vultee has seen fit to make the egg timer an option and in 30 years they plan on installing a microwave.

That's a part I have been unable to name along with a few switches and knobs.
