Default Little wheel

I hope they also make one with the little wheel in "the right place." I love trying to stick a good wheel landing... on flight sim.

It's a -6A. You guys are really going to be impressed by the attention to detail in the external model and the virtual cockpit. There is a *very* brief glimpse of the panel at 0:25 of webisode 4 on the Flight website. www.microsoft.com/games/flight.

I left MS before they had the flight model tuned so I can't comment on how accurate the flight model will be.

Oh and yes, those are VG's on the wing. A bit silly, but true to the source aircraft.

I'll let you in on something I know. One of my friends that built
and flys an RV-7 is the "Senior Program Manager" of the project.

Are either of these download-able yet? Payware? I have been watching that Baytower -7 for a while. I cant wait to see how it flies. One thing I would like to see is accurate spin characteristics. Im sure that is difficult but it would sure be fun!!!

Default BayTower RV-7/ -7A

Keep you eye on the Baytower RV, Danny has done a great job with that airplane and the flight model seems to be really close! If you're running FSX, and have an RV, it's going to be a must-have.
