Hey Ted,

I noticed that your tail wheel sits at the right height on the asphalt. Did you have to make any adjustment to raise the tail wheel a tad?
Mine sits a little low on the ground till I put some forward motion on it and then the tail wheel will raise up a bit. But I understand the physics of that torque
is actually pulling the tail wheel up. But at rest, the tail wheel should not sit so low on the ground. I've seen other pic of their F3f's and some of them have
a low tail wheel also.

One final (for now) upgrade going up today containing a few little adjustments to the VC and props for those who would like more defined blurs.:engel016:

I would be remiss if I did not thank you,Baz and co. for fixing the momentary black disc propeller I was getting on switching views in flight....so - thank you guys

This is a great plane for FSX - a terrific model...and the price is right in my wheelhouse (where I would love to see all payware plane addons priced anyway)

Being a Roy Grumman fan, this aircraft is a most welcome (and now most flown) addition to my collection.

Huge AttaBoy to AH from me - I look forward to all future releases (and have gone back into your catalog) for more. JustFlight has lightened my wallet in the last couple of days, be sure
 
You are most welcome. We intend to keep pricing where we have it. At least nobody has complained yet!:engel016:
 
Was the upgrade version 1.2 sent to Flightsim Pilotshop? It's now late Saturday 5-16, they still show version 1.1
 
I do believe it is the new version at fspilotshop, the file is updated in may 12th if you look at your download.

I just checked again at FSPS, under "My account" there is nothing about what version would be included if I was to download it again.
If you want to buy it for the first time, it says " Included update 5-10- 2015, includes version 1.1"
I re-downloaded a few days after the upgrade was stated as having been released, it turned out to be the same version I already had.
I assume if it was upgraded to version 1.2, that's what it would say you were downloading.
 
Rudyjo: Take a look at the bottom of the page where the download button is, ther you can see the information that the file was updated at may 12th. And in the package it says 1.2. So I suggest you try to download it to see for yourself.

Thanks, I should have read further down. I downloaded it, and it is version 1.2 as you said.
 
Here's my tech design to clearly see the work involved from fasteners, rivets, welds, hinges, and panels.

Excellent job... however...

remember that the wings are doped fabric covered... so there shouldn't be rivets on the ribs... I don't think...
pehaps tape covering over the ribs... yes...

to wit:

The wings are default bumps showing rivets and I will work on those next. Only the fuse and cowl I have done so far. :adoration:

Example: F3F-2 wings
