The Bulldog is out of the kennel

Just took her up for a quick spin and have to say she flies great! So far I have only found one issue, when I took her up the first time I instinctively hit the 'G' key to raise the gear and then thought 'oh yeah, not retractable' and continued with my flight. But when I landed this happened.

I then pressed the gear key again and she popped out of the ground. Not really an major issue but thought I would share it.

And yes I crash detection is turned off.

plus you gotta watch how you treat her she spins easy hard to recover
 
Looks good! For us europeans we have to wait until JF or the two others upload them. Can't wait.:redfire:
 
If you visit the purchase page at AH your are told that if you live in the EU you have to purchase from their agents and cannot purchase directly from AH. I believe the EU value added tax defeats AH's purchase software.
 
Wasn't it the Bristol Bulldog that Douglas Bader was flying when he crashed and lost his legs?

From memory spin recovery wasn't the only drawback of the design, something about directional stability at low speeds also comes to mind.

Definitely on my list to purchase. Always up for anything with two wings. :)

Hey Roger,

Sort of. The EU VAT rules are such that aeroplaneheaven would become taxcollectorheaven instead. The easiest option so we can still have fun and make stuff was to turn over all EU based sales over to the stores and let them work out the minefield of taxes and fees. Not to mention that we can keep the prices down a little by not having to employ a tax accountant every 3 months.

To all :
I have been notified that FSpilotshop will be up and running soon ( today or tomorrow cant work it out because the world is not flat so we have time zones :banghead: ). Also the offer is going to be at all stores but will work within each stores framework but most importantly you will still get a free F3F. I've also made sure that you are considered a purchaser of the F3F as well, so you would get notified of any upgrades and deals based on the F3F in the future.

Cheers

Yes it was. I don't know abut the new one, but the old AH Bulldog included his a/c as one of the colour schemes.
 
Yes the new Bulldog includes the Bader scheme.
As regards the Gulfhawk, I'm afraid not, that is a Just Flight exclusive product.:engel016:
 
Yes, slow rolls at under 50 feet are frowned on, FO Bader: valuable aircraft have been bent that way.
