Any Repaints Here For Piglet's Helio Courier?

[Flyboy208]

Have scoured the usual FS websites with very few results, hoping some of the talented repainters here have done some skins for this aircraft.

Cheers! Mike

Is there a paint kit available for it?

Looks like one I'd like to try a paint or two on..

I love this aeroplane and for ages couldn't land the thing - it was a case of bounce.....bounce....bounce....all the time. Then learnt to bring her in almost on the stall and then she three points nicely and stops in about 10 yards.

I have only seen one texture pack for this aeroplane and that is for three USAF schemes. It can be obtained from:
http://simviation.com/fs2004props143.htm

But if there are other schemes out there, I would like to know where I can get them from.

Best wishes,

Martin

Herb Morse did up a set of new flight dynamics on his site... Makes her a bit more tame but still can take off across the runway. If you want them, PM me and I can send em' out.

After doing a fair amount of searching, only one Helio Courier scheme catches my eye. If anyone happens to know where I can find more photos of this one, I'll do it.

Most schemes I've looked at have no pizazz.

Now that is one sharp paint job, Oleboy! It looks, however, like a painter's nightmare with all that custom design....:faint:

I think that what lures me to doing them...lol.

One of my perennial favorties... I found not using the last notch of flaps tamed the landings for me (albeit with a little less of its full STOL potential), but I think I will look Brian up.

Couriers had a reputation in Laos for being hard to handle, but the fact that they were landing them on postage stamp-sized strips scratched out of the tops of mountains probably didn't help matters.

BTW, OleBoy, that scheme definitely has pizzaz!

I've already got the scheme drawn for when I get the time.

I did a paint scheme for it. You can find it on my site or avsim.com.

 

[Matt Wynn]

ahh thats a relatively simple scheme.... easy to redraw by hand then transpose onto the paintkit.... and onto the model

Loving your Vietnam War era USAF paint Steve! Thanks to all of you who replied here - the Helio Courier is such a capable STOL aircraft.
