Very nice. . . .not a high altitude/Mountain flyer though. . .decreased performance above 8000' (service ceiling is supposed to be 18,000') in mountainous areas leave very little room for error if you must maneuver.
 
For $20?? I'll be absolutely flying this one tonight!!

Looks really, really nice. Now I'm excited for the day to get finished with so I can go have some sim time!!

Remember that "service ceiling" is the altitude 'at which a 100 fpm climb cannot be maintained' - or as one of my instructors put it: "you'll run out of gas before you get any higher".

8000 ft with a carburetor-equipped 125 HP engine is pretty good. Toss out the passenger and most of the gas and you might see a small improvement. Of course, you can have a density altitude over 8K on a hot summer day at KELP.
 
That's great!! ...but I want it from another vendor. I'll wait and see who's first.

I know what you mean...but I had to have it so I set aside my rule this one time and purchased it today and I have to say I love this little birdie

It has the nicest form for a low wing mono and being practically a Golden Age design why wouldn't it?
AH has captured the form perfectly and made a winning model that has virtually zero impact on FPS while being of terrific detail.

It flies right, looks right, sounds right and features a beauty grill...like a '49 Buick.

First flight from Bonners Ferry to SandPoint - winner winner, chicken dinner
 
Hi Rog,

I'd be interested to know about your views on vendors. Could you email me please? We are still adjusting our "position" on sales etc. so all input is of value.

Don't forget everyone, there is a fully flyable demo available for download for you to try before you buy. And you can get a 5% discount if you post on Facebook or Twitter.:engel016:

Hi Baz,

I'm not sure if I have a current e-mail address, so I'll pm you here.
 
Hi Steve, very odd, we are looking into it. It is supposed to work automatically at the purchase point. Thanks for the HU.:engel016:
 
It appears the auto discount feature is not working correctly for all browsers. We are temporarily disabling it until we can get it sorted with the provider.
Very sorry fr any inconvenience, it will happen once we have it sorted. Thanks guys.:engel016:
 
I'm very glad to see that there is an option to buy it directly from the AH website. Will be using that, rather than any vendor.

Nothing against any particular vendor; however on an inexpensive item such as this, I don't mind if 100% of my money goes to support the developers. :)
 
Bazzar!

It is good to see Aeroplane Heaven is still up and running. The globe swift is an awesome looking classic bird!

I also prefer to buy directly from the developers. Before I hit the "Buy now" box at AH, can you tell me if they accept a Visa card? Some places only sell with a Pay-Pal account which I do not have and don't wish to have.
 
Currently credit card purchases can be processed via FS Pilotshop. We are not yet set up for card payments, only PayPal. :engel016:
 
Auto-discount fix

Hello Fellas,

I'm the bloke responsible for the site.
I have researched the issue with the auto discounts and it is a per user problem. Good news is I know what the issue is and this information is below as well as being put into the FAQ sometime today.

Problem :
Basically if you are like me you like your privacy. You probably have installed ghostery or something similar which stops tracking of your actions and websites. It is this that is stopping the discount. Screenshot is from the mac version of chrome ( and yes I know it leaks webrtc ip addresses which is why you should use firefox anyway but it is simple and people are still using it ).

FIX :
When you come to the site you'll see that your icon will have 0 trackers on it. however when you hit buy now this number goes up to 6. this is the sharing feature. If you disable the tracker temporarily ( as I have in the screenshot ) and reload the site the icon goes grey and you can then buy the product with the 5% discount. This has been tested in Chrome 41, firefox35 and safari. IE not so much.

Anyone want to do the maths for me to make the discount exactly 18.95 instead of 18.96 that would be nice. ( not sure if I can enter in decimal points into the % field though )

At no point does Aeroplaneheaven track your activities. Only when you want to buy the product with a discount should you ever need to temporarily disable the anti-tracking. If you dont want the discount you can leave the anti-tracking software on and the protocols all still work .

Remember to re-enable ghostery ( anti-tracking software ) afterwards.

Back to your regular show now.
