I seem to recall that the B206 was not that successful.Any one know why?EricT

Hi Eric

It was very badly designed and a nightmare to maintain. In RAF service the props hit the ground when taxying across grass at times due to a lack of promised ground clearance.

It did have some success in the States but only after a dealer gutted them, fitted new electrics and general refitted the systems.

Garry

Thanks for that Garry. EricT

Shame really as it was a very neat little aeroplane in every other way.

Garry

Could'nt agree more Garry.

Lovely to look at but not very useful.

Like some girls I could mention........

All the bits and pieces I used are still on flightsim - search All Files for beagle produced 36 hits, and once you get past all the Bulldogs (and a Russian) there they are. This is from the info with Shigeru's FS2000 RAF one:
This FS2000 model is depicted as the second of mass produced Basset CC.1, in the scheme of Royal Air Force Transport Service with serial number XS766, used to transport V-bomber crews to distributed airbases in addition to its ordinary transport service in RAF. By Shigeru Tanaka.

I always thought it was Transport Command, meself.

I had assumed that the author's copyright requests had been respected (ie no uploading to other sites) and hence indicated where the files could still be found.

Obviously Flightsim didn't mind/couldn't care.

And IIRC the restrictive copyright was also the reason that no one ever posted correct colours schemes for the Bassett.

Thanks, Ian -
I'm sure that archive link will prove very useful.
I re-downloaded the Basset files and found this in the documentation:
