New updated version 3.0 contains revised textures, model and Flight Dynamics for the famous light observation aircraft used by many World Air forces in the past. Two painting schemes, USAF and US ARMY included. The model, made with FSDS from ABACUS features a complete set of animations 2d and a 3d virtual cockpit and the animated pilot head. Visual Model and textures paint by Massimo Taccoli with support from Chris Coarse. Panel works by Massimo Taccoli with added gauges by Dennis Seeley who prepared also the Flight dynamics for model.
I have hundreds of hours in L-19s. Pilot line-of-sight is scaled to low and small. You CAN see over the panel to the runway in the real airplane. No need for a cutout in the VC or obliterate the runway in the Instrument cockpit. Otherwise, handles like the real airplane. (except easier to handle on the ground than the real one)

A real joy to fly. My father trained on these in the 1950's, and this brings back memories. Nice work.

"A"pillers are too thicK in 2-D cockpit, this reduces lateral vision when compared to the Piper cub.

VERY good, fun to fly. Panel is very well executed as is the exterior.

This is a great little puttle jumper, great for short runways and low flight.
