Hi, I think it's time now to enter the stage.
Visiting this forum already some month ago, before I got my current rig and FSX, I first want to thank all those lads who gave me some wonderful birds and repaints for my hangar since than (in the meantime I learned to fly some of them without permanently hitting the ground:d).
I now have a very special request that forces me to "come out from the background":
Flying around in Scottish and German sceneries most of the time, I recently tried out helo-flying - and it worked, thanks to some reasonable information I got from here. My favourite bird (besides the CBi300) soon became Piglet's OH-6. Unfortunately, I have to go around always with a gunner in the back seat or with Nippon camo on it (just imagine that ATC guy when we passed his German regional Airport tower window). Did any SOH-"specialist" ever consider giving that power egg (the Kawasaki-model w/o gunner) a civilian paint? The colourful one from TV-series "Magnum PI" e.g. is very well known over here in Germany. Man, what would I give for that bird painted with a Scottish saltire flag to explore the Highlands - they could stop developing further helos for me (ok - maybe a BO-105 later, if I got some more experience).
Regards
Mike
