Now that is goodie

... after the Red ant spraying ... those damn Bugs

Just wasn't enough RED in my original pic so replacing it with this. Just splashed out on the Alabeo xmas sale and bought this beauty Pitts Special. Such lovely eye-candy, a VC to die for, absolutely no idea whether the handling is realistic I'm just enjoying watching the reflections on that gorgeous bonnet/cowling :-)

(cruising down the West Coast of NZSI between Greymouth and Hokitika)

Dean , its a great little beast.

Like you, i dont know if its realistic or not....and i dont care, just love it.

Great screen

Im not in it too count rivets , if it looks good I'll go with it. (Again...great screen Dean)
For me its all visual , i dont care if a 777 can hover ... but if it looks nice...

However, i would say that Alebao would have the dynamics right .

Their parent company (Carenado) are endorsed by Piper and Cessna .... correct me if Im wrong.
So i assume Pitts and Sukhoi will be onboard as well regarding authenticity.

That is the part that caught my eye was just how crisp the detail is on these Alabeo models ... plenty of RED in there looks great

Actually they get it wrong all to often. The pitts is horribly out with little to no rudder authority. I have done a bit of duel in an S2B and you barely need to touch the rudder and you over correct. Full rudder and a bit of elevator will make it snap instantly. A far cry from the alabeo pitts. Its a pitty there isnt a custom flight model done for it like the extra.

A thought to add , i don't have the Pitts , to get a closer feel on the PC you require rudder pedals and im sure this is something Marty would not have , but good news to no about the real deal from one who has tried it - its one plane designed to change direction with a sneeze .
