Coming this Summer from G.A.S.

Was there a radial engined version of this plane? I seem to remember a Great Lakes Special or is my memory playing tricks?

here's an update on the Cirrus version











 
cant wait to see the radial on it....I like round engines...

..and I just got a new haircut...

Our intent is to provide the history of the Great Lakes up to its final iteration in the 1970s. We do expect to include the Lycoming conversion as well.
 
This one not my cup of tea but I thought u also mentioned a Widgon in the works, and that one is so any updates on it?

Will this include, in concept, the new one being redisigned/built by the WACO Classic company?

Will definitely be getting this one.
 
As I've said before: you guys make 'em, and I'll buy 'em. You gents at G.A.S. just keep sucking the $$ right out of my wallet. Thanks! :applause::running:

I know this isn't a request hotline, but it'd be really neat to someday see a Naval Air Factory N3N biplane trainer - wheel and floats. The last biplane in US military service...and their production factory was conveniently located at Mustin Field near the old Philly shipyards...right across the river from your Camden Central Airport scenery from the FS2004 Pitcairn pack. It'd make a perfect scenery compliment to such a creation!
 
Wow, this summer? That soon? Really looking forward to this distinctive aircraft, with an amazing history!

Btw found this link to what looks like a really fun place, with lots of info and biplane rides:
