Excellent news -my favourite GA aircraft in flightsim. Don't suppose their's any chance of the Supermunk towplane version (180hp Lycoming), as used by the RAFGSA and the Soaring Centre?

Hi BPF

sorry but no for Lycoming one.

Been asked so many times but it's not pure & thats all i make.

I already have 3 variants and it's taken 100 hours so far just to sort the
T Mk.10

going to be a pig to sort out the T.Mk.30 Bubble canopy model yet as it has so many differences.

Mk.22 is pretty easy.

Like my Blenheim thread they all think i am doing a MkIV & a Britain first too. (just making a Mk1 & a 1F only)

Nobody seems to have a clue how much work is in a VC these days.

i spend approx 40 to 60 hours a week every week making freeware & i go to work :worried: basically it's killing me. :doh:

Regards
Rick

Hi BPF

No it's not that.

you only need one request and hundreds come out of the woodwork and turn on me every time.

Just watch this and the Blenheim thread now i have said no :dunno:

there are just not enopugh hours in the day.

This year Bill Lyons & Milton Shupe have retired probably from the same reason i find it hard. they where both my Inspirers. :sad:

I don't want to join the retiree's but it's getting so hard to keep the majority happy as you get treated like they payed you for the models.

(not you, just saying how freeware is turning) :wink:

my point is everyone that does not model thinks they take as long as an Airfix kit., which could not be further from the truth.

think of it that you also have to hand carve all the plastic parts too
& find all your own research material.

very very difficult to do and it gets harder every week.

my guess is the complication doubles every 6 months to a year.

Hope this helps?.

Regards
Rick

PS: good luck with the Job Searching.
took me best part of a year to find something & i know how you feel.
I have no idea where you live but i recommend the Royal Mail website if you are in the UK. (not much good if your not)
they have tons of Jobs Nationwide and offer as much training as you want
no matter what you did for work before.

It's a bit of a Dinosaur structure wise but i am beginning to enjoy it now i am no longer a Casual & have a contract & Uniform etc. :wink:
