I think you're getting confused with the UKMIL FSX version

Well wasnt that the one I installed from the link??? into FSX... odd that it comes with an installer but does not have an unistaller so you know where things go!

the reason it cant have an uninstaller, is it installs shared effect and gauge files, and if you were to use an uninstaller, it would remove them, and other aircraft would loose those effects

if you want to remove the aircraft, simply go to your AIRPLANES folder and delete the GROB folder, thats it!!

And some seed fell on stony ground!

My logbook missed out on the T31, but I did manage the others, as well as the Grasshopper - once - and the T45 Capstan.

Don't suppose the young snipperwhappers will be any the wiser.

Now there's a nice looking aircraft!

I flew in one a few times waaaaay back when and I've always figured it would make a nice FS model. But I've tried to do it 3-4 times as a 'starter' aircraft in FSDS2 but failed spectacularly. One day maybe...........

All you missed out on was a 3-5 min flight time MAX!
Aaah, those winter aero-tows..... ice-cream headache anyone?

Peter, many happy reminders of the old days. I got my 'C' Cert in the T21 for a 30 minute solo flight and gain of height. Very pleasant.

Ah yes, the T-21.....

A year or so ago they had an open day at the Gliding Club at Aston Down, just east of Stroud, Glos and I went along there to see what was what. They were offering flights in a small fleet of sailplanes and when my turn came I was likely to be in a Grob 103, but I asked to be moved to the T-21 that was behind the Grob in the launch queue! The guy in charge obviously thought I was deranged but let me switch anyway.

I'd last flown a T-21 in 1958 when I was 15 and for some reason it seemed as if they've lowered the cockpit coaming or raised the seat since then.

But it was JUST as cold and the flight was just as short too. Even with those huge wings you couldn't really say a T-21 was a 'sailplane'. I'm impressed by anyone who managed a 30 min. flight in one for sure.
