There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Raz Buckeye

...these Alabeo models are frikkin' exquisite from the aspect of their smoothness of form and finish, to their low FPS impact -yes?

It's nice to have it with and without the spraying equipment.
Definitely a challenge using the spray version, with a full hopper and half a tank of gas on a warm day.
I made the mistake of trying a full hopper and full tanks first flight.
Gradually got better the more I dusted.
Around 60% in the hopper, didn't feel as much stall buffeting on the turns with the force feedback stick.
Really nice vortice effects for the spray too.
The version without the spray equipment makes for a good bush plane, and is rather fun to fly 'clean' as well.
It was a fair bargain at $20 to me.

The research for the FDE development was a real eye opener as the POH already 'hinted' that this plane is almost unflyable at its restricted take off weight.
Restricted performance is an understatement!
Also rudder authority is noticable reduced at threepoint attitude (and higher) due to the large canopy.
A rather strange plane to look at and to fly....

Hello,
I really love this new addon, the 3D model is perfect.
I've have a little question for the users of this addon:
I've find one small bug when I open the popup window Shift+2" and when I click on "Helmet Visor" switch at this moment I loose some parts of my C188B AGTRUCK.
Please can you tell me if you meet this bug ?
Here 2 screenshots of this bug without click on "Helmet Visor" and with click on " Helmet Visor":

A great thank's in advance for all, best regards. Olivier.

Took this up and just let her fly whilst I clicked around the vc t o see what's what. Got up to 6000ft when I finished without realizing it .
The mixture is non functioning -just on or off . There is no NAV GPS , You can turn off the battery and alternater and that makes no difference . More importantly, I too can't find out how to get the spray working.
I like sitting in her and flying it but I do need to spray . Looks great and will be a lot of fun

Hello,
I need your help to know the fonction of one lever named: "Switch Hooper".
Once in the cockpit, on your left side there's two levers, one for the flaps and one named "Switch Hooper", please anybody can explain to me the fonction of this lever ?

...I would be very interested to hear what your thoughts are on the flight dynamics and overall feel. I believe that your experience level makes you an invaluable resource as to judging the accuracy of this model, and look forward to any kind of review or comments...
