    Thank you so much for this lovely little beastie. There is something distinctly Disneyesque about it, I think, especially the version with the big white smile.

    Thanks Spad and the GAS team for this gift of aviation history . I have always been a huge GAS fan . I was amazed at the most excellent documentation of the Aeronca C-3 you provided . Quite an interesting read . Did not realize that the Aeronautical Corporation of America was at Lunken Field in Cincinnati . Flew in and out of there with a pilot friend of mine many years ago . I was amazed at the cost of some of those cross country flights . Less than $ 10 compared to what they would be now . Anyway , thanks again for the C-3 . It went to the top of the list on favorite site seeing aircraft .

    Looking forward to your next release at GAS ,

    I would also have paid for the C3 and would happily pay for an 11ac Chief.

    Very nice very detailed model, (something I would like to achieve) & flies very nicely if a little too sensitive on the elevator, is certainly a keeper for me to bumble around in at a slower pace than my models!

    Icon22 Happy as a pig is slop...

    Every body down at Dog Island were very envious of my little yellow airplane this weekend. This little bird is just the ride for flying around the island and then going over to Carrabelle for some seafood .

    I would like to add my thanks as well. Also thanks for the multi sim installer. Fun lil aircraft I haven't even cracked her up yet.

    Best part of it is that when you're flying it you're on the inside looking out....

    Many Thanks

    This is a beauty. Many thanks to the team for this lovely, fun aircraft. The manual is a hoot too. "You can drop in on friends or even the neighbouring golf course" - I can imagine what the green-keepers at my local club would say.

    Wonderful

    Not my type but d/L'd anyway and am sure glad I did. Now I have something to putter around the sky sightseeing. What a wonderful job that was done on this little plane. Many thanks to the team that put this together along with the many thanks of the community for the astounding addons that you have provided us.

    That's a great looking interior and panel. But I can't help asking, what's that big red button? Is that the panic button?

  24. #49
    :-) Lol. PTT button. It's the sailboat angle meter the previous owner mounted that makes me smile. He was in his 90s. Couldn't see the standard slip indicator.

    @binarkansas: Any chance of sharing that lovely red paint job?

  25. #50
    Lovely paint,binarkansas . Its gratifying for all of us on the team to see you all having so much fun with this little plane. P.S. I'd like a copy of that paint as well.
