Nice screen cool.gif Amazing model when first released, they did have one operating out off Ardmore but was destroyed and killed the two crew crashing in the Firth of Thames in the mid 1990s , It displayed at the Wanaka Airshow many times, almost appeared to be underpowered.

The Fouga wasnt considered underpowered, but the one that was here was gorgeous and it was a tragedy when it was lost. She was originally imported into NZ in 1998, and appeared at Warbirds over Wanaka in the static park unpainted. She was painted in 99, and flown regularly until the accident in 2003.

Thanks!

It's so easy to fly a powered plane!
Fouga is a trainer, and student must be well aware of flying the plane instead of waiting help of big engines.
It was maybe the best trainer on carrier operations, due to underpowered go around missed approaches: They have to learn about good antipation!

Marty: you're right about little distortion! Let say maybe " it's artistic" happy.gif

Its all in the stroke of the brush or the mesh off a well rounded rubber.
