AERONCA 7 Champ Public Release

Hello,

Since no additional comments were sent to me, to celebrate this day of July 4th I propose in advance the release of this v1.0 on my web home page
As very often people use the direct address and then "Google Translate" to have the site in English without realizing that I offer ALL my web pages in FR but also in EN so to overcome this here is the direct address: http://frenchvfr.free.fr/download.php?lng=en&pg=889&tconfig=0
 
Merci Didier! I grabbed the last beta version and finally got to fly it last night. I figured I should since I had done some testing on another version of the Champ in FSX.
I'm very pleased with your work and the little details you've added. It should be an addition to the hangar of everyone who likes to putter around low-and-slow, counting the wildlife. A very honest representation of a well-known classic aircraft.
I admit I might not fly it as much as some because my tastes have changed over time - I still like small, affordable aircraft, but on my tests I flew a route that I also drive frequently and alas, the Kia is faster than the Champ. On the other hand, it would be a great way to introduce the grandkids to flying!
 
I am loving this plane.

Here's an early WIP of another fictional livery. I did one similar for the Republic Seabee years ago in FSX. Since I do most of my flying in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, I thought I'd try again. We'll see.


 
Nearly there . . . I know most people prefer real-world liveries, but I'll leave that to the painters who actually know what they're doing. If anyone's interested in this fictional tribute to the PNW, I'll have it as finished as it's going to get by tomorrow.







BTW, lagaffe, I hope you finish that Turbo Beaver at some point. What a cool plane. Thanks again for this one.
