Staggerwing

This harks back to the days when styling mattered. This was the executive toy of the 30s, and it certainly looked the part. A great choice for Alabeo, as they really know how a paint job should look.















The pilot looks a lot like Richie McCaw, if I'd known that I'd have chosen the more appropriate red painted version.

It sounds great. Well, it sounds like I imagine it should sound:)

I have had a bit of trouble losing flaps/gear, it seems like the animation just gets disconnected. Occasionally I press the gear down switch, and it says the gear goes down, but no sound and no animation. Same with flaps. I need to reload the aircraft to get it back.

They sure do make amazing looking planes. Well done to them.

Was or is there any "Staggerwing in New Zealand? I have this aircraft also in use since yesterday. Think, this may a Job for our repainters and I know, that many great aircraft like this are restored in New Zealand.

Great Screens....

I have the same probs, sometimes the complete electrics failed, gear and flaps are out and the Radios also. Bad. The second thing I have to complain about is, that they have no Dokumentation... only one data sheed with things i can find also by the Wikipedia... Nothing about how to fly the aircraft, nothing about history. Think, that Oldtimers like this must be better documented.
