Hi Guys
I saw some info on this little baby and decided to make a fun model.
totally modern & not british but being a Kitplane it's as good as.
Full 3d instruments taken from the chipmunk but will be modded to suit
(ASI is done so far)
Aeroprakt A-22 Foxbat.
Powered by a 100 bhp rotax 912S engine.
manufacturer site

Sorry but neded a short interlude from the Herald rebuild as it was getting too much.
(Chipmunk also started as an interlude).
Just for fun
Regards
Rick

Know what you mean Rick, I've settled on living my life as a series of interludes interupted briefly by serious stuff.

rick, that is awesome! i had a model of an ultralight that looks exactly like this one, but it wasn't called a'foxbat'. it was from a french developer and also came in a float version. it was very neat, just lacked an interactive VC - so i'm excited about yours! at the moment i'm flying the efsim skyranger which is a very tidy little package.

Hi Guys
Leif......... yes it will be released.
it's just a fun model.
I can even land it on a an oilrig helipad in 10 kts of wind
but as well as being fun it is very usefull for sightseeing.
Jobs like the Herald fill my brain up with "To Do Next" stuff until i can no longer work.
so i have found an off the wall model to remove Herald-itis so i can get back on it. i spent about 120 hours on the Herald with only sleep & work in between which is too heavy.
I will get back to the Herald in a week or so.
Regards
Rick

Regards Nigel.
