Hi DC :smile:

Nice to see those AE wires have been tuned down :wink:

Panel looks interesting. I bet visibility is poor though :think:

Looks good so far :wink:

thanks guys

the panel will be tweaked over the coming days, so hopefully visability will be better.

this release, still has to be approved by the 'official' chaps on 51 sqn, as the R1 is actually a restricted model. :k:

also, the beauty of this model, is it is not framerate hungry, so will work as AI pretty good too :wink:

Great job everyone! Just what I have been waiting for :smile: :smile:

I am not at home much at the moment but if I can be of any help, please let me know (PM or email probably best). BTW, to be hypercritical, I think the auxiliary fins on the tailplane should have a slight taper; ie: less chord at the tips than at the tailplane.

Thanks for an excellent model. It's the only way I will get to fly an R1 in the latest colour scheme!

Regards,

Brian

Big fan of the mighty hunter and about time we had one of those !!!!!

Had a 5 hour flight years ago when I was at ATC on XV249 from St Mawgen. This Nimrod was later converted to R1 spec after one of the original R1's crashed up Scotland.

Just a comment... Something not quite right with the rudder. Think it needs a bit more slope on it. Might just be my eyes and old head !!!!

Looks great to me and can't wait to fly her.
