Hey ya Harry

No Alpha's to My No incoming, One Indian CAC trainee pilot preferred them to the Cessna172 simply due to handling, dang nice chap to speak to and gave a good discripition to compare - both aircraft - hated the Cessna - loved the Alpha so guess it comes down to the ole FORD v HOLDEN .

[Harrydalzell]

yer i actually fly them at cac but ive never been in a 172. i do prefer the alpha over the tomahawk tho ( love the big glass bubble)

Hey Harry, PAD did a freebie Alpha a year or so back, externals arent bad, panel is ok, but the flight model is a bit dodgy.
Anyway, check it out here: http://www.premaircraft.com/robin_alpha_FSX/index.html

Harry .. the modern thingy .. seems the Alpha is the fave with most trainees .

I've been a passenger in Alphas a few times w a cobber here in Hamilton who flies them out of Waikato Aero Club. Lovely machines aye.

[Harrydalzell]

oh, they are so fun to fly and i wish i had an extremely good model for one on fsx, but i guess we will need to dream for now. they are also good for aeros which takes my fancy,
ps. any west pac bk117s

Yep there's that one and another one which I have in my archive somewhere with Waikato Aero Club paint. I think.
Look for a file called "alpha160a_3_uknz_x.zip"
I felt the need to edit one or two settings in the CFG and even then it wasn't quite right, especially when full flap was thrown out there.
Can't use it in P3Dv2 as the panel doesn't appear at all. Never mind.
