It's wundebar Thomas.

Can you tell us how many versions will you release? (mark I and mark II? normal and floats? for both versions?)
Thanks.

Okay, Mark 1 will be released first. Fix are normal wheel, floats and skydiving models with Garmins 530/430, KLN90 and GTN650/750. Perhaps I will do a tundra wheel version yet. Mark 2 (new exterior) will follow with the same avionics and models later. Perhaps I will do a surveillance/Police model too.

@George, big thank you for your brilliant Triple Two wip model. I will take a first ride this evening.

Nice !!!!!

Finished my work on Mark 1 for internal beta.

Now we have four basic models:

In front custom with six seats, than Skydiving with animated rollup curtain and special interior. Floating (Wipaire) with retractable gear, animated water rudder + retract handle in VC, gear situation indicator on floats (a nice sole wire lol) and finally a new one: Tundra with big wheels and without passenger seats.

Why four basic models? Quite easy every comes with own airfile. All basic models with different cockpit variants like GNS430/530, GTN650/750 und KLN-90B and 3 or 5 blade propeller.



Always three or four Greens

Nice! Am ready to give it a go.

So impressive!

Just a question - could the empty tundra version have a load that could be triggered by let's say the "/" key? It's nice to have a load / not have a load during a flight. They look BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Something like this?

If yes, I would prefer Ramona and less the load.

 

[Bushpounder]

Yes! Both! LOL!

Very nice job ! Cant wait too for final versions.

Thanks looking forward to this, so excited. Can we possibly get a freight model where the back seats are removed for cargo hauling?

 

[TiAr]

yes, as I wrote, with Tundra wheel model it should be possible. This model has only one seat inside - after finishing first beta test, I will put some boxes inside - perhaps fish boxes. I think about a way to do an application XML for the smell (and some big flies, flying around inside the cabin - surely with new cockpit sound System LOL).

You know I never realized it before... but I think the extended nacelle for the turbine helps the look of the aircraft. The 206's and 207's always looked a little ungainly with the stretched cabins.

Yes you are right, don´t ask the piston fans around. Less people understand, why the cowling of Mark 1 Soloy is stretched. This is not because the engine is so huge - in reality the Allison/Rolls-Royce of Mark 1 is clearly smaller in dimension and much lighter than pistons. Soloy has to move the engine more forward, only for stability reasons on ground and in flight.

Anyway - we are in Beta and life is going on. Some bugs will be solved. Nothing serious yet.
