I guess it was Inevitable, Trying to land on a 'too-short' gravel bar up in the Tongass Region  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Just ran out of solid ground, think i need something a little more, 'tough' up here.


...

Thanks for looking.

First, a tailwheel and bigger main gear tires.  A wing that can fly slow - approach speed right around 55-60 mph with a full stall touch down right on the approach end - stand on the brakes.  On a gravel bar, I've heard a wet tailwheel is just right  Smiley.

Hmmm, I was thinking Super Cub X, from FSAddon. Or maybe the Quest Kodiak from Lionheart Creations.

Choices choices, might have to settle for both, seeing as how its Christmas soon.

Never go wrong with the PA18 Super Cub - pound for pound, the best bush plane ever built.  The one Aerosoft made was excellent and I think they've modified it for FSX.  Another Aerosoft offering that intrigues is the Dornier27 - only for FSX though.
