I love vintage aircraft. If it was well done, I’d probably buy it…even though I might only rarely fly it.
Agreed! Anything with props and from the 20’s on up is sure to get my attn. Oddballs are a plus. I was excited to get just about all the flying boats available for that reason. The only disappointing one I can think of was the Boeing 314.
Exactly this.
If I knew then what I know now I’d be several hundred bucks and several gigabytes of storage better off.
I’m not sure if you’re joshing or no…
this thing was meant to pull gliders, and that got abandoned fairly fast. At least it was better than the “harness several Bf109s” plan.
An actual, normal, 111 would be far more interesting.
It was actually pretty successful. Few planes could pull those enormous gliders. It just came out too late. It was successful enough there was a bomber and recon version under development. It’s thought 12 were under construction. 4 were flight worthy at the end of the war.
No i was being serious to a point. Historically important doesn’t necessarily mean successful . In this case i would prefer A He111 H or even a G
That is definitely true. Look at all the unsuccessful yet historicaly important aircraft we already have.
I think the Boeing 307 for example wasn’t particularly successful, yet it was important for several reasons.
A couple of the flying boats certainly come to mind…
Personally, I wouldn’t buy it, but I’ve gotta give ya extra props for bringin’ that beast up. ![]()
What we need is an accurate, well made, study level T6 / Harvard instead of the basic Asobo Reno Air Race one . It’s historically important as so many WW2 and beyond pilots were trained in it.
