Nanchang?

[njbb1995]

As posted in the FSX forums:

Hi guys,
I was just on the hunt for a Nanchang (a hunt that has lasted 4 years) and I was wondering whether you good folk have seen one or have one made or being made. This is a great aircraft and there would be alot of people that would love you if are making it. The Guys at NZFF would! You could class this as a request a "help me" or a Plea!
Cheers

Its the piston powered Nanchang CJ-6 that njbb is referring to...It would be good if one was made for FS, presently there's none for FS. Heres a link to a picture of one..http://www.airliners.net/photo/Nanchang-CJ-6A/1469666/L/

Tons of additional pictures on the web. With it's slab sided fusalage and few compound curves, it will make a good project for a beginning modeler as well as beginning pilot.

true Jhefner, but the FDE might be a bit challenging... I've seen Nanchangs at airshows here and they are super maneuverable. You can flip em, flop em and tumble them end over end - in level flight!
