Curse you Ian Warren this thing will keep me busy for months...........

Snapped these in a valley near brunner heading back east.








and the SHAR on the deck at Franz

The Harrier does look very nice I must say. Still, it is a military aircraft, which means I'll probably never fly it! Unless there was a civil version....

Nice screens!

I know what you mean. If only he wouldn't sound so enthusiastic about new aircraft. Obviously The Force is strong in Ian - and my willpower is weak . . .



Three short flights and I see that there's a steep learning curve in front of me . . . I suppose I should thank you Ian for giving me many evenings of 'productive' activity . . . .

Nice Screens Marty , we could even get a real New Zealand paint for it , the one down at the Ashburton aircraft museum . One thing ii have found is its very easy to transition landing and takeoff with a throttle quadrant , you should try it out next time you are here .

Next have you also buying a throttle quad

Thanks Guys.....Greg there is no "curve" with this, its a vertical line

So true - I have manged some STOL both on take-off and landing but the VTOL stuff is proving more of a challenge - as you said, it's the vertical part that's proving tricky!! Did some screens but they don't really show that you're in a hover so not worth putting up at the moment.

Im still working on the STOL...VTOL is for when i have half a day to spare.

I think I'm going to have to banish myself from this thread, this Harrier business is all to appealing!

With that sublime message Connor DONT GET THE HARRIER DONT GET THE HARRIER
