SOH-CM-2025
The Aeronca C-3 was added to GAS resources. If you have already installed the Davis D-1 that model came with the C-3 as a value added. For all others here it is. I think that cleans out the archives.

I also want to thank you Spad54 and the rest of the GAS team for this very generous gift to the SOH community. It is greatly appreciated. I had purchased several of the GAS products over the last few years and kept on putting off purchasing a few more of the aircraft I had my eye on... so thanks again for this thoughtful gesture.

They're pretty close.
I've flown 4 different Stearman here in NZ, 3 with metal fixed pitch props and 1 with a wooden prop.
There's subtle differences in each one, usually airspeed and RPM in climb and cruise speed, but general handling is good.
With the fixed pitch metal prop on our one, it gets overhauled, annually or 100 hrs, which means it gets removed and taken to the prop shop for x-ray and balance. The prop gets removed from the hub and when it's re-assembled, I notice if the pitch is slightly different it can make a big difference in the climb speed/RPM and in the cruise at my normal cruise power setting.
Currently our one cruises at 80-85 kts at about 1850 rpm, but depending on the prop pitch setup, over the years, it can be anywhere from about 75 - 90 kts in the cruise.
But in saying that, the GAS Stearman is as close to the real deal as you can experience.
Well done GAS Team.
Pete.

Thank you Paul! Perfect for flying around Seattle, WA (with BlueSkyScenery here, near Floathaven 0W7):
The Kinner is a great model, however I was missing the beautiful green/créme livery, which was included in the MSFS version of this model.
So I decided to do a fictional livery in these colours.
For me personally the bright green colour of the crackcase was a bit too bright. Based on what I found it the internet, the bright green is authentic, but as the livery is already fictional, I decided to change the colour of the cranckcase as well.
Again on the internet I found pictures of dark green cranckcases, an olive green one, blue/grey versions and there is even a light grey/blue version in the Rhinebeck collection. So I did all these colours and as the livery is already fictional I did a polished version as well.
I will pack the repaint and will include all textures for the crackcase colours mentioned. Hopefully I will be able to upload this package somewhere in the next few days.
Cheers,
Huub
(In case you wonder, the registration does belong to a Kinner, but to a Kinner Sportser B.)

Green KInner B2 Sportwing textures
This package contains alternative textures for the Golden Age Simulations Kinner B2 Sportwing. The repaint is just for fun and not based on a real aircraft. The model can be found at https://sim-outhouse.org/ . There also 5 alternative textures...

Thanks for the kind words. I hope you do enjoy the repaint as much as I enjoyed making it.
As the biggest part of a repaint is creating a re-usable paintkit, it didn't take too much time to create a quick second livery. Also fictional, but I hope you like this one as well.
It is available in the library.
Enjoy and have a safe 2026

Yes indeed the GAS Kiinner is a fun aircraft! Side-by-side cosy seating for 2, convertible top, 2 cowl options, just like a flying Chevy Corvette! Merci Huub for nice green repaint, I like that. Thanks GAS for all the free goodies.
