These shots are not good at all.... but Im working on it. winkyy.gif






What a cute little thing..... the only thing that lets it down is the lack of texture on the glass ( canopy) bits.

Not sure about the flight dynamics ... whatever i say will be wrong.

But i can say....it aint a Pitts. cool.gif

This was one other type they were looking at to use over Auckland traffic spotting around the same period as the Wilga course around the same time as the midair early/mid 90s . I think it put an end to the idea because of the problem watching traffic and not the sky.
