Believe it is.  I find it a little bit ho-hum.  The model(s) with three-bladed props have a more authentic sound but I found the liveries with red in them leave a lot to be desired.  When zoomed up to blur jaggies, the paint is a mess and lots of blur is needed to make them presentable at forum size.  If there is another and better technique, I'd sure like to know about it.

I have his 206 Stationmaster. Nice airplane but I haven't flown it in years.

Being a Carenado addict (I have all of them) I hope that they will do a FS9 version. And yes it is their first taildragger.

I have bought this tail dragger and have no issues with it, there's a few jaggies but no big deal, she's fun to fly.  I also have the 206 and would recommend that bird to anyone!  Especially if you go get the photoreal paints!

Truck - you're correct, the paints aren't that important but I do wish they'd included some float and ski versions since that's where the plane really excells.  Maybe they'll come up with something.
