Thanks a lot. Its a beauty.

Just one question - where do i find the battery/master switch? I can turn power on with the keyboard, but love to flick the switches.

Regards

Hi Kim :hello:

Glad you're liking the old girl ;) I posted a quick update on the Heron release thread to add a 'mains' switch to the Switch Panel. It's not as integrated as it could be but it certainly works ;)

Hi Dave,

Thanks a lot.I just had'nt read the whole thread. Looking forward to see all those spinners in action again. Simply wonderfull.

I haven't had the time to read all posts about it. But is the plane and panel under development? If so, it would be nice to see cowl-flaps. I guess the real Heron had them, just as the Dove had them. The oil seems to run a bit to the hot side when under stress. And of course it would also be nice to have the carb-heat installed in the panel. But even without these details - its a beauty. I really can' thank the developers enough for their time and effort.

Regards


Kim

'Scuse me butting in, Kim,
The Heron was released "as is" after mountains of requests for it.
It was released with no expectation of any further work, so don't hold your breath for cowl flaps.

Hi Kim :)

I'm afraid Airspeed is 'bang on'. While I couldn't say categorically that no more will be done with the Heron in the future, it is unlikely and nothing is planned.
