You guys are the best! Thanks for yet another superb freeware offering to the community. Check Meijer Ad (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?meijer/) and Walgreens Ad (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?walgreens/).

Don't take this the wrong way, but it looks hideous....but that's not your fault, that's Aeronca's.

[therealjambo]

Many Thanks.

It will grow on you. I kinda grew to like it.

[oldmsgt]

Thanks for this, a nice little critter!

[dhasdell]

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.

[kremin]

Many thanks GAS - it's a gas..!!!.:cool:

[thunder100]

Many Thanks really

I would have even paid

And i would pay for an FSX Aeronca 11 Chief with such a panel

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 .:adoration: 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 ,

Rich

[binarkansas]

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

Barry

[Dev One]

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!

A super little plane, many, many thanks !

[rdaniell]

Every body down at Dog Island were very envious :a1310: of my little yellow airplane this weekend. This little bird is just the ride for flying :running: around the island and then going over to Carrabelle for some seafood :encouragement: .

RD

[b24_witchcraft]

Certainly is unique. Interesting little plane - thanks GAS team for this nice gift! :applause::applause:

[heywooood]

it's a lot of fun - base final to KMRY
I cant seem to find the time to fly anything else..

[gradyhappyg]

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.

[Jafo]

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

[Anthin]

I have just had my first flight in this little gem.I
love it.Great cockpit.

Thank you GAS.Wonderful present.

Anthin.

Would you mind to post dome plane pictures too?
Or a link

Thanks

PS:Do not want to derail the thread-->the C§ is VERY FINE-Thousand thanks

[johnwillimas2]

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. :redfire:

[b52bob]

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?

[griphos]

:-) 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?

[Spad54]

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.

I am not quite finished with it. It is fictional. It should be finished soon. When it is done, I will try to upload to this site. If I can successfully upload it I will post notice of it here.

Thanks for expressing interest. I am having a hard time finding time to finish painting the C3 due to how much fun it is to fly.

Barry

[griphos]

Great. I'll be looking for it. It's very nice.

[CodyValkyrie]

Guys, I grabbed the bird and wanted to say thanks from the bottom of my heart. I know that making any plane for FS can be a measure of one's patience, so for you guys to release it for free truly tells me that you fine folks care about the industry and your customers.

Edit: Heywooood, I used your picture for the post I made on Facebook. I hope that's okay. I credited you bud.

Thanks Cody We have a position that we will develop a freeware model each year as a pay forward, recognizing that without the simulator community support our payware side would not thrive. We love what we do staying true to Bill Lyons, our guru.

[binarkansas]

I have finally finished it. If anyone downloads it and it proves not to work right or something let me know. It is the first repaint I've ever uploaded anywhere and I might not have done it right.

Here are updated bump maps correcting the wing rib stitching as done by binarkansas also it will place the corrugations on the ailerons of his livery. I'd suggest using it for all models . Just unzip and place both in the Texture.Common folder and remove the maps from the red texture file. (Great work binarkansas)

Thanks so much for producing a bump map file that was what I was attempting to do. I appreciate it greatly. I also appreciate learning how to make the stitches look more accurate. The new stitches look great on NC1966A!

After days of trying to fix my computer and the stress that goes with it, I now have it up and running with Windows 10. My first flight was with the C-3, low and slow, laid back and very relaxing (as relaxed as you can be in flight). Thanks for another fine aircraft!

[peterwatkins2]

OK, a few more C3 paints, uploaded to BritSim and FlightSim.com. A couple more to do and then I must get back to the DH Dragonfly!

Take your eyes back to 1937, at the height of the Depression. Ride your bike up the Beverly airport. Among the Stinson Gull Wings and the Taylorcrafts, they have two beautiful Aeroncas. I thank the GAS people that brought this lovely plane back to us. To the very young it may be ugly. But in it's day it provided the freedom of flight. I just love it!
I especially thank GAS for providing it at a price us folks living on Social Security can afford.

[heywooood]

yes - for the sake of Serenity - thank you GAS, this is the plane I fly whenever I am looking to relieve stress through FSX therapy...its good whenever of course but, for me - when the alligators have been up to my eyeballs
and I manage to escape finally at 5:00 - I like to set the C3 up at Walter Suttons' or High River and just orbit the airstrip for a few TG's - now that's some kinda nice

[hertzie]

Thank you GAS-people for such a fine gift for the flightsim-community! So much fun flying it from my hometown airfield (EHHV), which fortunately still is a grass airfield.
