Evolution of the GA single

[pilottj]

With the BF-108 we now have the 'mother' of the GA Single. I used FS Recorder to gather some of the best FSX examples representing a lineage of 70 years of first flights. I think each of these planes represents the cutting edge of their day.

...and still a very good aircraft in FSX despite it's age now.

Very cool shot......I'm hoping that Realair will do another update of the SF-260 with an upgrade of the VC as their next project with maybe a SF-260TP

oh yeah an SF-260TP would be awesome!

Had not used the SF 260 for ages, but now you mention it I had to have a flight and it does indeed work very well in FSX.
