Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2017 9:43 pmThank You. Hope one of our famous repainters think about.... I like "Bush flying" and the Otter is a typical aircraft for this job. And it gave me more the impression of "flying" than the "Dreamliner" i fly at the moment for a review for FS-Magazin.... Sometomes is "Back to the roots" better den this over-sophisticated flying robots.

This is flying i like. And so the Otter is the next aircraft for me, after the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. I have meanwhile the feeling, its´s time to go back to the roots.

Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2017 6:39 pmI've got it as well Greg ... what do you think of it?
I'm undecided. It seems, somehow ... Unfinished, as does a lot of the JF stuff.
Can't comment on the dynamics as I've never flown one ... But, there's just something missing.
Anyway, it fills a gap.

I think that it will grow on you, it's not as powerful as the Twin but that's to be expected. I think it's a typical low and slow bush type plane.
