Hi Tom and welcome
When you say the 'real' one will be about soon, do you mean the real Proctor 3 or a 'real' flightsim version

Either will be nice
Edit..
Tom.. I notice your surname is the same as the owners of AKEX. Could you be that lucky??

Yes Indeed, a 'real' one will be about soon

i'm not entirely sure about the flightsim one though...And yes my Surname is the same..that could only mean one thing!

Keith's Rebuild of the Proctor - which Tom is using for the paint - is in Beta test now and should be available for fs9 and FSX in a couple of weeks
Its a joy to fly in both sims

Dave check your PMs and DONT use the wingfold in flight
And YES Keith is working with Miggers on a FAA Proctor - we are trying to establish if some winged squid ever had the intestinal fortitude to land one on a carrier
