Looks nice Roger...how does the panel look...Mike

[Roger]

It's not a complex vc Mike, so instruments are sparse but all the gauges are well modeled. Here's a vc shot from just outside the door:engel016:.

Did this aircraft allow solo flight from the front seat, unlike the Cub which only allowed solo from the rear seat? Thanks,

Steve in Kansas

[stiz]

Yup, solo from the front seat, allthough i've added a view that allows you to fly from the rear seat if you prefere

[Lionheart]

Awesome Stiz!

:ernae: :applause: :ernae:

Congrats man! Looks like a winner.

Nice gauge work.

Stiz,

May I ask how you came about naming your firm 1-4-18?

Hi great plane to fly ,very nice shape and one can never have enough Aeronca's.Hope in mayn repaints.

One question though.Wasnt there a Champ which had white instruments in a wood panel? or was this an Chief

Thanks

Roland

[stiz]

Hi Roland glad ya like it :)

I havnt seen a champ with white gauges with wooden panel in my hunts, i have seen one with white leather interior but the panel was still black.

[Roger]

I'm quite partial to both of these...although not historically accurate:engel016:

Outstanding work Stiz! - Definitely goes on 'the list'....:applause:

I gotta put this on my A-list too Panther, but like others, it'll have to wait until the next check. It's great to see young men like Steve approach this recreation with their talent and I, for one, think we should be fully supported of his efforts. I have a beta-version and have been preparing a more correctly painted "Charlie Brown", but events of late have taken me away from the computer for long periods of time. Such is May, I stay so busy with civic events in May. Even though the events occur only one or two days over the weekend, I stay busy "all" week". Anyone that has every worked large civic events know of what I am speaking!

I have a Southside Scramble Mountain Bike Race that I co-direct coming up in two weeks. Yikes, gotta do some phone work! Currently am housing youngest son and two nieces, just got some vittles fixed for them. Wife's off at 5:00 and my brother's son is 16 today! Birthday party at 6:30. Oldest son is on a school trip to Williamsburg, back at 9:00 tonight. Most of you have lived such a lifestyle. Know what, glad I am healty enough to do it! Praise the Lord!

[stiz]

Hey Cazzie the last link i sent you is the same as the release version so theres no need to buy it, one of the pearks of beta testing :)

btw, its now available on FS Pilot Shop: http://www.fspilotshop.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=274

[Cazzie]

Then I already have the patware file, my hats off mate.

But I still must send a stipend when the time comes, I was young once, I know how hard money is to come by and when someone puts forth an effort to do good, one deserves merit for such. Maybe it is the 1/8 Cherokee Indian in me.

The yellow and orange champ, 81585... I KNOW THAT PLANE!!! I should know, I designed the scenery for the airport it is based at. That aircraft is owned by the Anson County Flying club at KAFP. WOWWW i'm going to tell those guys about this plane, they will LOVE it! Great work guys!


(I can also get you any kind of REAL pictures for comparison... i live really close)

[Milton Shupe]

[stiz]

[icarus]

I know how hard money is to come by

and how easy they go away.

[bushpilot]

I was casually browsing through Simmarket today when I bumped into this...

and it is one awesome bird:monkies:. Great job on the 3D gauges and FM, really smooth:ernae:
Is there a way to remove the passenger? I like to fly alone LOL
