• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Indeed, slow, but steady progress.

Bumps completed for the Howard 500, and the 350 textures are in progress.
The 500 and 350 will be released together.

The 250 will follow the 350 as a separate project.
 
Wow, Milton! Those are some swell looking machines. I can hardly wait to run down some more Citations and Lears...:encouragement:
 
Wellis and I just wrapped up the Howard 350 and with beta testing help from WND. I'll get that uploaded in a few hours.

The Howard 500 is also about done, a few minor tweaks to make, but hope to upload tomorrow.

I just sent the Trigear and an executive custom taildragger to Wellis' paint shop yesterday.

Aaaaaaaand...I just cleared my calendar for the next few days. And ordered a few pizzas. Thanks, Mr. Shupe and team! :loyal:
 
The first flight's in the logbook! Departed HQM with a full boat and enough fuel to go wherever (I'm only equipped with a sixty minute rump, i.e. not real far). 200 knots indicated, 2,500 feet per minute uphill, and hit 4,000 feet on crosswind. Sprinted through a really wide pattern at 250 knots, let down easily and rolled her right onto the fixed distance markers with nary a chirp.

She flies great. She looks great. She sounds great.

She is great! Thanks again, Team! :applause:



Curious question: was the 350 pressurized?
