Yep, he did make a hot rod version, and it was/is great! Awesome sound to it, too! It's at Flightsim.com updated to 2004. Don't forget Leon Louis' three texture sets for it. ccswift4.zip
A hot rodded version of the Skylark would be fun.
Thats the plans, a 'racer' version. It will also have a chrome large diameter spinner like a Beech Staggerwing as well.
Wierd how it has the slight sihouette of the famed Hughes racer.
Same soundpack. The floorboard had to come up about 6+ inches for the wheels. Have to bend the pilots legs a bit.
I would so love to do a Amelia Earheart lady model as an option pilot. I am no good at making people models 'specialised', only what Poser 5.0 can put out. I was hoping to get with Feng's students to see if one had the abilities to make fine tuned, mapped pilots, like Amelia, but for some reason, I cant email him. I think the Chinese government still see me as a danger to the Chinese public, lol.. (I was banned from them a few years ago for my Christian statements).

Hi Pam,
Just what we need! A 4 seater Hughes H-1! (Now wouldn't it be interesting if we could create a Skylark RG that went faster than the clipped wing H-1!?)
Bill: I have transited through Beijing, and it was a horrible experience. i was was almost thinking about shouting anti-communist slogans but then decided that getting arrested would only add to our troubles. If you want a story with a moral of "Check your travel plans before departure, PM me.

I have released the Update Patch this morning. Its just the config files, one for the regular Skylark, and one for the HD version Skylark.
You can hand edit the config file which if you have repaints, will be the easier route to go.
The patch is here; http://lionheartworld.net/ps/Skylark_Build1.1_Patch.zip
HAND EDITING THE CONFIG
What you can do is navigate to the 'aircraft.cfg' file in your Pasped Skylark folder, right click on the file and select Open With... and select Windows Notepad. When you have the config file open, navigate down to the 'electrical' system as seen below;
[electrical]
engine_generator_map = 0,0
max_battery_voltage = 28.0 //Should be 12v, but software does not work.
Note that the engine generator has 0,0 as the entry. Edit it so that it says 1,0 as follows;
[electrical]
engine_generator_map = 1,0 // <<< CORRECTED TO 1,0
max_battery_voltage = 28.0 //Should be 12v, but software does not work.
Then save and exit out and your plane will now have the Generator restored to the electrical system where in it will charge the battery system and keep it charged. Without the Generator assigned, the battery will die after about 10 to 20 min's of use.
I will later be modifying the compilers to the Build 1.1P, with P being the Patch inclusive version. Presently its still Build 1.1 and will be with the patch as well. (Its too small of an update to change Build series).
Let me know if you have any questions.
The RG Air Racer is on hold (as you might know) until the Boeing Blended Wing is finished. I can then focus down and do a proper job on the RG version Skylark.

I've already started in on the engine and prop.. So far the only "drop in" reolacement i can find is the 250 hp R-760E or the 285 hp R-760E1, and being five inches wider than the scarab its still tight fit.. BUT, lopping off 30% of the drag for the wheel pants and another 15% of the induced drag for the clipped wings, i can achieve 170 knots with a three blade constant speed prop. That presents a problem however in that the pasped has a two blade fixed pitch prop, so i'm experimenting.. I neeed to go through the old macauley and other prop catalogs to see what i can come up with..
Guess when i get the depantsed model i'll have to make another too cute paint job and name it scooter
Oh yeah.. i also like SkyStreak
