Is that a Champ...no you said it wasn't a Champ...but we are waiting for a Champ

Champ it, I don't know what the Champ that is. :jump:

[Tako_Kichi]

I'd say it was something lightweight with only 1 or 2 seats judging by the bungee cord return system on the castoring tailwheel.

[Cazzie]

Champ is real soon DC, final beta due this weekend, all to do then is refine the .air files for all variants.

But nope, not a lightweight two-seater Taco, something a bit larger.

Ha well spotted that is a bungee aswell isn't it lol it's gotta be an ultralight with that set up? what can it be though I have no idea! :mixedsmi:

[Cag40Navy]

Is it a turboprop :)

[Cazzie]

No turboprop, some old and missing from FSX.

[full]

Is it something form the DeHavilland factory ?

[Cazzie]

Nope Craig, but it is from your favorite era. :d

Hint: It's American, introduced in 1925. Those aren't bungee cords, they are newer plastic wrapped anti-corrosion cables, heavy duty gauge. The plane use a one of a kind trim system where the whole rear aileron tilted up or down on a slight angle to trim it out in flight.

I know this may sound stupid and random but is it a Stinson Voyager? Not that I want one but just got the feeling it maybe! Defo wrong though!

[Lionheart]

Thats a small version of a Ford Tri-Motor tail wheel. Its framework also was mounted behind the fuselage cut-off point, under the rudder.

I would venture to say something of Dutch or German origin or something that mimicked the Ford Tri-Motor design?

Could it be that small single engine radial baby that looks like a mini-Tri-Motor?

[peter12213]

Bill when I saw that I knew it was American but it's killing me, not knowing what it is, not that I want it that bad but I recognise that cut in tailwail caster, it's driving me mad like when you can't think of that song you heard on the radio in the car lol!

[Javis]

Smells like Travel Air.... ( 6000 maybe ?.... )

Would be kool ! :cool:

cheers,

[pilottj]

Is it a Trimotor?

[Butcherbird17]

Ford Trimotor


Joe

[Cazzie]

Congrats to pilottj and Butcherbird17, it is an all new Ford Trimotor, something Microsoft seemed to think FSX could do without. :wiggle:

Nice!!!

This will be interesting.

Who is making it?

[Drzook]

I'm thinking Curtiss Hawk of some sort; perhaps the P-1 or P-6?
I'm only saying this because the Hawk III (model 68) has a similar setup.

Edit: whups too late, but a Trimoter is nice too.

[Cazzie]

Tom (Crashwoody) at CR1 Software is doing this one like no other, she'll be a winner, guaranteed.

Oooh, a seriously done Hawk of any series for FSX would be double-delicious Doc. I wish.

Well I feel dumb... The first thing I thought was "Ford Tri-Motor"... then thought how I'm never right at anything and shrugged it off and waited for the real answer...........

[polygoon]

Who is making it?
and the modeling for CR1 is now done by -

The famous polygoon...:applause::redfire::greenf::applause:

Bloody Trimotor I knew I recognised it! Excellent! :jump:

[Cag40Navy]
