Classics Hangar's civi Messerschmitt

Nice! There is one based near here where I live with a flat 6(?) Lycoming or Continental engine but I much prefer the orginal in line versions..looking forward to seeing this roll out of the hanger.
 
Looks great Mathias, I still use the old Fs2004 version by Guther Kraemer quite regularly, but a brand new FsX version is very welcome!

So true..wonder if Mathias can put the machine gun sound into it! (probably wonders what the heck we are talking about) :kilroy:
 
Thanks everyone!!!



He sure, Ken, let them share the title.
Though with 4 seats, retracting gear, auto slats, all metal construction, a 240 hp engine, a cruise speed of 140 knots and handling characterics without any sort of aero-dynamical flaws associated with "vintage" aircraft the Taifun would probably be a bit closer to the crown, don't you think? There are not an awfull lot of GA planes around that have bypassed this one in performance in the past 6 decades.

To tell the truth, it would look right at home on a civilian airbase today!

In fact, throw on an electric starter, and I wouldn't mind having one right now!

If you took a Bonanza and put it beside an Me-108, they would look strikingly similar. The obvious difference being the Me-108 is a tailwheel aircraft. But, in terms of value and performance it would certainly be a strong GA aircraft even today.

Cheers,

Ken
 
Really looking forward to this one. Is it 240bhp(As10C) or 270bhp (As10E)? more is better I think.
I saw photos of one with wings folded. Is that a standard feature for all models of the Bf108?

As 10 C, ptrev.
And yes, the Me 108 had folding wings for better storage.

Taifun was designed for Challenge 1934 competition. I'm not sure if folding wings were required by regulations, but a team would gain additional score for ease of wings folding. Taifun's counterparts - Polish RWD-9 and PZL-26 also had folding wings.
 

Haha 633 sqn ..the special effects were quite bad werent they but hey I guess it was made 40 or more years ago

Yep the poor old Taifun is our resident German aircraft - gets shot down all the time

OMG, what did they do to the 108???
Whoever raped it like that deserves to get sued by war court.:isadizzy: :d
 
Mathias, this looks awesome and will be a beautiful addition for our sim! I got to have a bit of a look at a real one of these at HARS (Historical Aircraft Restoration Society) housed at Wollongong (Australia) - I think it's being restored to flying condition (to join their growing ranks of beautiful aircraft they have including a Catalina, Lockheed Connie, Neptune, DC-3, etc)
 
Sorry, I'm French and speak english very bad

So, excuse me for my laguage

It's a lovely plane.

And where is the Me 110 ?
