Happy Friday!

We have a very brief update video for you this week previewing the H145 Civilian Variant!

Much of the interior and exterior modeling is complete as shown in the video and we hope you all appreciate the attention to detail given to items like the emergency locator transmitter system. This transmitter is attached to the aircraft, at the right hand side of the pilot’s seat and is used to alert and assist SAR forces in the event of an aircraft distress situation :sos:
