A quick job this morning for Robinson just south of New Plymouth, needed some super spread on a small hill block on her property. Nice job to kick off the week, 0.5. Buzzed farmhouse on way in, rather good-looking lady that Mrs Robinson!

Just a bit of fun with John Woodward's FS2004 Beaver, quickly repainted as Fieldair's ZK-AZB....NZ's first ag Beaver now on its way back to NZ from Australia. Welcome back, Zulu Bravo!

UPDATE: Just corrected the underwing aileron texture and added the Fieldair "goose" logo:


For some reason I can't find the texture for the top aileron......any ideas? The "wing" file includes one wing side and aileron/flap combo, but for some reason the top of the ailerons aren't changed and I can't find them anywhere...

Good stuff - such a shame MS did not include a wheeled version of the Beaver in FSX because the Beaver is very good. Just a wee hint with the repaint issue - if you are looking for the area that covers the aileron - add strips or boxes of different (and bright) colours over a texture. Sooner or later it will show on the plane and you will narrow down which area covers the aileron. Another repaint tip - you might want to make the yellow a little more orange. Even white should be a light shade of grey.
