I was playing arround with some of the default flights today and decided to recreate the flight of the "Vin Fiz". The problem, a Piper Cub is very unrealistic and not very challenging when it comes to completeing such a journey. I stumbled upon this Curtiss Kruse at Avsim and thought it was excellent. It's no Wright EX but it will do. The Kruse is a single cylinder, single prop canard biplane. In the sim, it's fairly stable. I've been flying over New York City at 500ft and at a steady speed of 113km/h. Ease of control is unrealistic but it's still a gem to fly.

A close up showing the Kruse.

Over NYC showing many famous landmarks.

The Statue of Liberty waves goodbye to the Kruse.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink
