@GhostHTX no problem dude!
Thanks mate!
@MAHADI
looks neat!
Most kind of you, old chap. @Alien
Oh man, this work shit is getting in the way of my Simple Planing. How did I miss this? Sweet little flyer and all that cockpit goodness makes one very pleased, old bean. Voting in the upward direction is obligatory, dear boy.
I’ll be looking out for it 👌🏼@GhostHTX
No problem. Thanks for the epic challenge. @EternalDarkness
Cool. I actually have an armed version too, re engined to have more oomph, and a back story involving the Army Air Corps and the need for a COIN/FAC kite. With 5000hp she is a hoot to fly. Uploading that one now. Story will need to wait.@Mustang51
That’s a pretty good backstory for it. I usually only fly single engine piper aircraft and thinking about trying to land this at my airfield is making me nervous hahaha. It is super fun to fly in the game though @GhostHTX
Now that you mention it, I really see your point. It really isnt meant to be related to the Provost at all, but I can see the resemblence. It is suppost to be a too big, too heavy losing competitor to the Tucano. Only a few built blah blah. I just need to find time to do the write up. @Mustang51
Cheers! Im quite happy with it! @Treadmill103
Many thanks, me old mucker. @Tang0five
True but I meant more that it looks like a jet provost with the only difference being the engine switch. It looks awesome nonetheless but I feel like in real life it would be difficult to fly because it’s quite heavy for a prop @GhostHTX
Thanks for the entry
Welp, I'm gonna get slaughtered no matter which category I enter. Awesome build though @GhostHTX
The prop version of the Jet Provost is the Percival Provost. This is something else. All resemblance is incidental, honest! Thanks, though. @Mustang51
Prop version of a Jet Provost is an interesting idea. Nice job!
Very nice old bean!
