If anyone is having issues with the plane not moving on the ground set you flight model in the options to “Modern”
Groan! … after the Wilga I told myself “that’s enough airplanes!” but now I have to have this - will I never learn?

Really nice little planes. I like the Salmson model best and their aerobatic characteristics. Will there still be a paintkit? When can we expect a sound update and would it be possible to get wind sounds? I generally miss them in the open planes in MSFS.
The fleas are really fun.
Yes I can provide a paint kit for you, I’ll DM you. Sounds will be in a future update, I can’t say when at the moment. Wind sounds are there but possibly to low a volume, I’ll look into this.
been having so much fun with my flying fleas. modelling is excellent, sounds are great with all the different engines and the quirky but fun flight dynamics. my only complaint to the devs is, for us xbox flyers a dedicated youtube video showing your aircraft running on the console.
and as you have set your own bar so high, hopefully there are other aircraft in the pipeline?

Really awesome plane, defs would recommend! I’m still trying out all the dif configs, but everything i’ve tried so far has been a blast. As @Baracus250 was theorizing, you can actually hover land it if the wind is right (or crash a bunch of times >.> ). Hope to see what other planes @RaraAvisSims comes up with ~ we could always use more funky planes like this \o/
Some fun pictures, flying around Norway with the ski version:

@MilonRouge Thanks ! looks like you having fun, Its definitely a (different) experience 
Yeah I have another weird and wacky plane in production (90% complete) I has a vintage style to it but was a prototype in 2015, not sure if it flew through…

I made an account just to say how much i love this plane I’m exclusively an ultralight fan, but before i purchased the flying flea i didn’t have an ultralight from the distant past, the closest to it really were a few biplanes, namely the steerman and Curtiss Jenny, but they’re considerably heavier.
I love the sheer range of liveries, and engines, and looks, it’s just a joy to fly. Thanks very much, and although i’m happy as is, if there’s ever a new sound package or new liveries, i’d be well up for spending a bit on those.

Totally agree! The name will be getting rather long, but I’d be well up for a Mignet Pou-du-Ciel HM.14 “Flying Flea” NG+

I have a screenshot with the flea i’m quite proud of, but i think because i’m new i can’t link it. It’s in my Steam library, and it’s a shot of the flea passing the Eiffel tower, in as chance have it, my favourite livery, the Rotax engined ‘Petit Prince’.
I’ll try an upload and see if that works:

Yeah man nice shot! I think he could use that as a nice promo picture 
Welcome to the forum, too!
Not to go off-topic here (he says whilst contradicting himself) but what other Ultralights do you enjoy? And to get back on-topic(ish) I assume you have seen the upcoming next aircraft by Rara Avis?
If you check my profile you can find a link to my thread where you can vote for your favourite aircraft

Thanks very much for the welcome. I’m a rather odd MSFS player in that before this game came around, i had never tried a flight sim before, and i don’t have any history in my own life with aeroplanes. I’m someone who used to play a lot of space games, namely one called Elite Dangerous, but i’ve sort of made a transition. I’m often as interested in the scenery as i am in the plane i’m flying, since MSFS is such a stunningly beautiful game.
Regarding ultralights and light aircraft, i have the top rudder solo, Zenith STOL, Zippy Sport, Gotfriends Optica, Freedom-Fox (what a beast that is), the flight design, Carenado’s Cessna 170b, and a few others. I really enjoy the Searey as well, due to the ability to land pretty much anywhere, its surprisingly strong climbing ability, and the good views from the seat. (I actually can’t afford the WIlga or i’d have that too 
, but of course i feel privileged to have these aforementioned)
Regarding future Rara Avis products, no i had no idea something new was in the works, that’s pretty exciting, i’ll definitely be keeping an eye out. I’ll check out that link you mention too, thanks very much for the warm welcome

This is it. Up your street too I imagine
You know the Wilga is on discount at the moment?

Wow that looks awesome, you’re right it’s for sure one i’ll be wanting to try, i don’t think i could have imagined such a weird looking craft
Yep the WIlga is on sale but sadly it came at a bad time for me, £20 would be kind of my limit for a plane even at good times, i’m more of a £15 kind of man lol. I can go to 20 if needs must (as i would have for the Flea had it been that price), but considering i already have quite a few planes that fit the WIlga’s role, i’m going to hold back this time.
I’m wracking my mind for a top ten of airplanes for your list, it might take me a while but i’ll make an entry once the list is done.

Hi, what changes have been made with the current update?
I was advised by the MS testing team to update the hanger thumbnails as they didnt include the variation text, I also updated the Flightmodel.cfg to stop users having problems with the flight controls not working in legacy mode (which shouldn’t be used anyway).

Hope the Autogyro is going well. I’m a bit old fashioned in that i tend to be reluctant to buy from websites i don’t know much about, and that includes pretty much every place to do with this sim, like justflight etc, i’m sure they’re fine but as i don’t know anyone else wirh personal experience buying from them, i patiently await its arrival on the MSFS ingame shop
Thanks again for the flea, it’s been two months or so since i got mine and it’s one of my most used airplanes, its quality and variety is just beautiful.

Yes, i can relate to that! The Bulldog is still in testing by MS 
but shouldn’t be to long before it hits the marketplace. Happy to hear your enjoying the Flea, it’s definitely different to fly
