MAN there's a lot of glass in the CH701! I adjusted probably 6 to 8 materials dedicated just to glass!
Barry, shoot me a PM with your e-mail address and I will send you the tweaked MDL. Test it, let me know how it suits your taste....can always tweak it some more.
And while on the Zenith planes, have you given Brian Gladden's CH801 a spin. It's STOL like the 701, but bigger. It can be found on Flightsim.com. Just do a search for Brian Gladden and scroll through the list...I think it might be a FS2002 Pro model, but it works beautifully in FS2004.
