I don't have either, but comparing screenshots, it doesn't appear to be the Icarus payware model. (it's better

Oh great, it looks like this aircraft has been removed from avsimrus.

There's
no way ,in my opinion, this is a ripoff of the IcarusGold 'Duck'...
no way. Where would this guy have gotten the source files??

And if he did monkey with the source files (which I believe has not happened) IcarusGold should put him on the payroll for improving their product.

Oh well, hopefully all this will get sorted out soon.

Looks like this might get interesting. I think I'll take a seat in...

I agree, the VC is different (different layout and items) and the IcarusGold model has more defined plating on the body.
