The rather twee little Scud II (or Scud B) that I remember flying at the London Gliding Club in the early 60s
Ted Cook has graced us with another little British Jewel -- Now available from Ted's website or the Pond.
Goes well with Pete Watkins repaints of Rick Pipers T21 in LGC colours (Butterfly and Dragonfly) Now if
only someone built a nice Dunstable scenery for Fs9...............

Oh yes one question -- All my Screenshots seemed to resemble fag cards all of a sudden -- anyone know why?
Just been reading about launching fliders in FS9/FSX and it seems there are a few problems if you're not using a tug.
Several methods have been tried but they don't seem very satisfactory - VET is one (Virtual Engine Technology) puts a small jet engine in the flight model to get it off the ground.
Has anyone adapted the FSX/Acceleration Carrier Catapult to simulate a bungee launcher?
Thanks to Roger -- he just pointed me to LGC senery for Fs9 and FSX -- I'll give it a whirl when I get home from work and also see if we cant host it at the Pond -- Now all we need is a couple of Olys a Sky4 or two a Dart 17R , we have the Tigers for
towing....and Bobs your uncle
Cheers Roger
Just got an email from Craig Richardson - his Dunstable scenery for fs9/fsx AND the retro Dunstable scenery will be available at the Pond
later today
There is a nice little self-launching tool (I think made by the same gent) it works very well emaulating winch launches it comes with Rick's T21 and is easily
added to most gliders -- I hope someone can think of a way to modify a carrier cat to emulate a bungee launch -- I can set up a launch point on Dunstable
Downs in about five minutes if someone can figure out how to apply the catapult gauge
I have Herr Pipers Ka6e already ( a favorite) and I think he does a Ka13 which was also used at LGC in the early 60s
