I'd like to make it known to this forum (If it hasen't been already).

I present the ICON A5

For those of us who marvel at modern achievements general and sport aviation, in my opinion, this is one of the most captivating and awww... inspiring aircraft I've seen in a while.

I first saw this wonder in a Popular Science mag a month age, now I know this has nothing to do with a Flight Sim, but I'd like to put out a suggestion to those out there that enjoy creating planes for FS8/FS9/FSX, I'm sorry to say I haven't got the talent of know-how to accomplish such a task.

This aircraft is one of those planes we just end up licking the glass of the display area, unless your one or those lucky pricks that happens to have $139,000 USD laying around, if not, all we can do is dream.

"Honey! can I just sit in it..." walter from arguing with myself
 
Wow! That thing is beautiful....like a personal X-Wing Fighter or something of that sort. I suppose I could fire up Gmax and make one for FS2004.....might take me 5 years...but I would eventually get it done.

I would understand your timetable for projects such as this.

Trust me...it's not the complexity of the aircraft that would require the lengthy time table...it's my lack of skill in Gmax that would result in a very long project. It took me 2 weeks to make a Tic Tac!

That seems a little unfair for the rest of us that still use FS9, some of us either can't use FSx or don't have choice. :banghead:
 
Or you could go British.......

There's a funny story with this one.

There was a test of the model off of Calshot Spit in the Solent and someone called the coastgaurd to say they saw a light aircraft crash into the sea. When the helicopter turned up they discovered that it was a 6 ft model

That's got Piglet written all over it, but he's only doing FSX stuff now.

Yeah but could we talk him into doing one for FSX is the question. It would be a great one to fly in FSX seeing I can't own the real thing. ;)
