Just Flight/Bluesky Hangar releases Grumman AA-5 series

[DennyA]

Wow, in this age of seeing “in progress” shots of planes for years before they ship, it’s cool to see one pop up and then ship in the same week!

Just Flight has released a Grumman AA-5 package with the Cheetah, Tiger, and Traveler. Pretty reasonable at $27.99 for all three planes in both 2020 and native 2024 versions, and both glass and Garmin upgraded cockpits. Be really curious to hear people’s impressions. I’d probably just buy it now on a whim except I’m super-busy until tomorrow. I’ve enjoyed the BRSimDesigns AA-5, but this one looks more accurate visually and has a lot wider range of options.

Full manual is here. Perused it while eating lunch and it looks really good. A lot of variants for one package.

Reading the POH, looks like there's a paintkit included. That's awesome, given some of the fun real-world paints for these planes.

[Released] Bluesky Hangar Grumman AA5

I just received this from Just Flight this morning in my email. Anyone know anything about this company? Any brave folks ready to try it? I vividly remember a sales booth in the Burlington Mall (MA) when the first Grummans were released in the '70’s… I think right next to or near another booth...
