    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Famous Flyer 8 - Cessna T207A from Carenado

It is a beauty and a great price. Was hoping for the C206B but this almost fills the mark. Hope a paint kit comes out soon.
 
The detail's awesome and it feels right. Haven't flown a 207, but it feels like a Cessna with its weight and power should. Dang nice for $9.99.

Yeah, I'll be picking this up. The flying station wagon. For the money, It's hard to beat the famous flyers series.
 
Just grabbed it. I sure hope some repaints come forward, especially some older factory ones. This is sweet. Flew a short hop and need to look at the POH for some answers. Love Carenado!

Downloading very slowly Looks like I'll be here for a bit...

Later...
Finally got it, set up at KPDX to do a flight into Boeing Field, pulled up ATIS and realized I was going to be dealing with icing conditions - no thanks! So I set up in St. Croix and headed into Princess Juliana for a sunset run carrying a bunch of bottles from some guy named Morgan. I actually like this quite a bit. At 12,000' I can maintain a good cruise with 30InHg and leaned for max EGT. My only real wish is that the landing light would shine out a little more down the runway. I also realized I was coming in way to fast, but I was able to chop the throttle and get the airspeed down to the white arc, then drop the flaps into the wind to get her slowed down in time for a smooth landing and exit at the second turn-off. Panel lighting seems to leave a little to be desired, so I'll probably be sticking more to daytime flights.

Was gone visiting children and grandkids over Christmas. Came home to find we had COVID. Well, since I can't do anything else I bought the C-T207A. What a gem! This is well worth the current $10.00 price. It flies nice and solid. Reminds me of the C-206 I got to fly a year ago. It is simple and basic. I like it!
