Auster Walks on Water

[Molyned]

Adding floats to the Antarctic T.7 turned out to be a quicker job than I'd anticipated. So here's a shot of the aircraft bobbing up and down on 'The Pond'.
The model has now gone off to have its config file tweaked ,so should'nt be long before I can issue it at the Pond.
Highlights include - correction of spelling of 'Antarctic' on cowling (not done when this screenie was shot).
- 'Radome' can be switched visible / invisible from either the keyboard or cockpit interior. I've included this switch so that the aircraft can be repainted for other uses as a standard T.7 on water.
- Water rudders activated from inside by a lever.


Hope it's to your liking folks. :prayer:

I like the idea of a lovely little aircraft being able to go anywhere and with these Austers.. we have just that. Cheers Dave

BTW.. dunno if anyones tried getting into Courchevel recently but with the right weather, you can get in almost sideways in the little J1! M$ shoving autogen trees right at the end of the runway no longer poses any problems

Any thoughts anyone ? - I'm told that the floats were almost certainly polished aluminium, not orange. A photo I have seems to suggest that, but because it's in B/W. it's difficult to be sure. Oh, and they're too short - in hand - poly-pushing.

And will also fly under bridges of the Skye variety.
