Arado AR196A-5 seaplane by Stuart Green

This is a reworking of a model I did a couple of years ago now, which was
"a bit rough" round the edges to say the least. This has just about everything
revised and in this I must thank the following;

Fred Green who yet again has provided a great dp file.
Jean Robert Turcot for the exhaust effect AND getting me enthused with redoing the thing!
James Banks who came to my rescue with the air file and made it work "like wot it should"

A belated addition to the library - Stuart Green's 2002 version of the Arado Ar 196A-5.

Hi Kevin
Thanks for the great update.

I might have a couple of ships in the pipeline that could use the Ar 196
Cheers
Stuart

Hi Stuart,
Actually this model could do with an update. The control surfaces tend to disappear and I'm not sure about the flight dynamics. I don't remember doing it, but I've replaced them with ones by Alexander Brenzinger and the aircraft flies well.
Cheers,
Kevin

Regarding Alexander Brenzinger's flight dynamics for the Arado, last night I discovered they are included in the Groundcrew's Prinz Eugen package. They enable the aircraft to do a catapult launch.
