My hangar has more fleas than a street dog

Flying Fleas to be exact. I bought the RARA-Avis Flying Flea pack from FS.to today (not from marketplace to avoid getting only parts of the deal with model files and some .cfg not accessable).There is a whole bunch of fleas contained in the package and all are really good modelled.Only the sounds are a bit - let's say sub-optimal. Using better matching sound files from other addons, however, make these fleas a lovely toy at least.

Your post interested me. I have had the freeware version of the "Flea", but have never flown it. From the pictures you posted, I can see the payware version is much better detailed. Normally I wouldn't have been inclined to buy it, but to be honest, your screenshots sold me on it! NC
 
Flying fleas are one of my preferred airplane. Try to find and read the book « Le sport de l’air « by Henri Mignet, the creator of the Flying Flea, it’s all about the joy of flight and all required to build your own real « Pou du ciel » .

The fleas are worth the money. I took better sounds from addons that already rested in my hangar. The Ford engine comes from the A1R Chilton, the best Rotax 587 Sound imho comes with Ant's Drifter.That sounds are the still missing icing on the Flea cake
 
The more I fly it, the more details I find. This is a more modern version with a "blue head" 2-stroke Rotax. It is based on the HM14/360 type of the Flea with controllable rear wing. Every rod and wire moves.
