Cowpatz,

Thank you for kind words. No I have not tried freeware Falcon 20 but you got me curious about that so I went to Wiki and saw interesting facts on that. Then I just noticed your post on Announcements subforum of NZFF forums about debut of new freeware model base along with enclosed link for that so I clicked on it which took me to another interesting post announcing new freeware product and what I like most is Ameristar cargo Falcon 20 plane!!! Thanks for letting me know.

Regards,

Aharon
