Saab, Volvo, Ikea, and the Valmet L-70 Vinka! I found this little gem by accident and decided to give it a go. The Valmet is the basic trainer for the Swedish airforce.
It was made by Mikko Maliniemi and Kari Virtanen (who has made a load of great Saab fighters for us).
All I can say is anyone complaining about the lack of great freeware should look at this model!!!

Incredible VC, great detail and everything works Shocked

A quick look in from outside

Gorgeous spin characteristics, if you want to learn to spin properly, this is the plane to do it on

Safely on the ground and a quick look at some more detail, including the pilots badges!

All I can say is this plane is fabulous! The detail and handling incredible, and yes its slow but a lot of fun. There are two models, and each come with one or two pilot options!
Fabulous.

Cool Mark, makes me want to jump in and strap up right next to you. Look, we can use that 3rd seat to hold our cooler in place!!

Fun, its one of the best since either the Rafale or the Gazelle in the freeware has everything stakes. I've been pootling about all evening doing aerobatics, and I love it. Did some great low-level through the pine forests stuff too. Its a joy.

Cherokee, the model isn't here yet. I'm just awaiting Mikko Maliniemi's permission to upload it, I've already got a green light from Kari Virtanen (who advised me to contact Mikko), so just hang on a day or two. Its worth the wait, trust me Grin
