The C-39 hybrid

There is a dc2 1/2 (dc2 half), may be it's your dc2.5 ???

Hi Andy

That was the famous DC 2 1/2 ..the wing was damaged an all they had was a DC 2 wing.

Another flew with a large hole in the rear fuse held together with dexion.

But the ones Ben refer to,I think, we actually built that way.

The list in the link refers to DC 2 1/2 but I have never seen them called that before.........only the Chinese damaged one.

The other thing Ben..which Is why I linked the list, is the number of different military designations other than the familiar C-47 and C-53 for the Dak.

Hi all,

The story on the DC3 with one DC2 wing attached amazes me every time.
What a planes! They just keep flying.
That's what we're planning with the DC2. Just a few more things to finish.
Glad you like the VC :smile: It will get better still.

Keep your eyes out for this DC2 for FS9 and FSX

Best, Rob

Hi Robcap and welcome to the forum :wink:

Though we are mainly 'Classic British' based in our outlook on things aviation related, 'Classic' is also and important part and I'm sure that many here will welcome the DC2 :wink:

Hi Dave,

Thanks. I'm aware of the British nature of this site :wink:
But since Cathy asked, and my friend Javis brought this topic to my attention, I thought I might give it a go.

Best, Rob

Oh yes. :lol: We tend to listen to Cathy as she is one of the 3 females we have here and of course JanV always has our ear :wink: It's had a long gestation time has this DC2 but I'm sure it will be worth it :thumbsup:
