The CAM Explorer to Bomford is basically how the Cessna 172 is to the world; they are common, somewhat cheap, and used for flight training by flight schools in many cases. The CAM Explorer started out life as a design for the military for COIN operations. However, the plane was seen as lackluster, and it was rejected by the Bomford Military and Air Force. The plane eventually went on to civilian service, and since then, the planes demand has skyrocketed, with over 5,000 units built and sold, and they are still rolling off the assembly line to this day. The plane is well known for its decently robust landing gear, the engine and its ease of maintenance, the cockpit layout (great for flight training), and the planes slow speed, making it great for sight-seeing flights and for flights were you are really in no big hurry.

Guess who’s back! Yep, it’s me. I really have no excuse for being real inactive lately, other than the fact that getting this plane to work was a pain in the-... never mind. But seriously, I have recently worked on many planes that have turned out to be dead-ends, redundant, or just flat out unflyable. Luckily, I came out with this one, so at least not all of my work was in vain.
