A very rare version of a Radial Widgeon. 450hp P&W R-985 engines gives solid performance on a rather light aircraft. VC has night lighting and custom XML gauges, a switch to move the yoke out of the way, rain effects, and much more. Exterior model weighs in at just under 18,000 polys. Clean mesh and tight texture maps allows this high detail model to run very smooth. Engine temperature management is required to prevent overheating, dont forget the cowl flaps! Airfiles are scratch built, and meet the few numbers I could find for this rare version of the Widgeon. Custom sounds, big and beefy... but a good custom set would replace it. Many hours into this project, I hope you enjoy it so far. Happy flyin!
Not too bad, could use a few tweaks, NICE Co- Pilot

Someone spent a lot of time on this excellent (looking) A/C. Too bad he/she included a poorly functioning overheating problem that constantly shut-down the engines. You are spending most of your flying time adjusting the mixtures and cowl flaps! Bummer....

Pros: Excellent virtual cockpit, good exterior model, good handling
Cons: No 2d panel (not that I care though), has levers in cockpit for cowl flaps, but no cowl flaps are present on the model and they have no effect on engine, wheel touchpoints in .air file are too low, engine overheats and stalls readily at high throttle settings, no nose door
