Suggestions for Beaver SP
Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2017 8:21 pm
If any updates to the Beaver are planned here is my wish-list:
1) Optional dual control
2) Optional short exhaust (minus silencer with bleed for heating)
3) Optional straight floats (i.e. not just amphibious)
4) Optional stores racks on the wings, for dropping supplies etc, plus controls for such in the VC
5) Revised UVW mapping (and paint kit) with separate mapping for port/starboard, upper/lower flaps and ailerons... without which non-symmetrical (e.g. camouflage) paints are impossible!
6) Use of tip-tanks (unless I've missed them somehow) with associated extra inertia/momentum on the wings due to the extra mass (should always land with tip tanks drained!).
... and given enough time and resources...
7) optional retro Decca Navigator in place of GPS etc.
8) optional Green Salad VHF homer
9) optional Type B47/48 radios
10) Option for a less-curved/pointy prop spinner, with initially parallel sides tapering further for'ard, thus:
I could help with details of some of the more obscure kit if needed
Anyone else got more?
