    I know that will please a lot of people. Thanks!

    Been working the last several hours on wing/nacelle interfaces and cutting in the exhaust ports.

    Your doing great work Milton! Not sure if you have added this yet but dont forget the bubble on the rear of the inner main gear doors. My guess is its for the pointy part of the main struts/ hinge area.

    Cant wait for any model you release! This is a great aircraft all around and I know with your attention to detail you will be spot on! keep up the GREAT work :salute:
    :salute: Big 'T' I don't know how to express my gratitude for the enormous input you've already contributed to this project!

    If I understand correctly, you have LIVE access to these incredible machines; lucky man!

    Dare I ask about the possibilities of 'aquiring' authentic recordings for flap and retracs???

    Thanks Nigel! Yeah I live by the Air Attack Base in Hemet where they use the Grumman S-2F3AT (S-2T) Turbo Trackers for Initial attack fire bombing missions. I grew up with them using the S-2As (which sounds wayyyyyy bettter). Those two are what got me addicted to photographing airtankers.

    Wing fold progress after many hours of "engineering". LOL

    Still much to do to finish this up.

    A few more shots of the wing folds process ...

    Keep in mind that I haven't seen an actual wing folding in action but this is what the wing pivot angles give me.

    Not much to test fly right now; just a blank exterior model.

    I do have a base coat of paint on her so Tom can get started on the flight model. Once we have something to fly, I'll get copies out to the team contributors. No mapping yet for textures, no VC, no panel.

    I talked with a pilot of the Cal Fire S-2Ts and he said the flaps are pretty much silent.

    Heres another video with great sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=dlK81JSL0f4

    Can someone with knowledge of these launch hookups tell me if there is any movement in this hook, or if they simply latch on and launch from it.

    This under-belly hookup is forward about at the prop line.

    Thanks

    Thanks Mike. Putting the finishing touches on the exterior model so I can start mapping for textures, hopefully by Friday.

    I have added bunches of little stuff but still have antennas, some door hinges, and see-thru blocks to add.

    In FSX have now done some carrier circuits and bumps, Lurches and Jerks? Not a supersonic thunder monster, but going to be a lot of fun to fly!

    Milton,

    I'm quietly watching from the sidelines and along with the rest it's amazing seeing a master craftsman at work.

    Thanks for another classic taking shape.
