I searched this website and did not find this aircraft and I can only find an old FS2002 version of this aircraft. Since it is such a unique aircraft and had a lot of merit (high speed and STOL), I was thinking that this aircraft would make a good project for the future. I would think its worth of Tim "Piglet" Conrad and his assortment of "peculiar" planes! I understand a project of the level of quality we see from Conrad takes a long long time and a lot of effort, we all appreciate such efforts, so this is just a suggestion for those who are thinking of another project. This type of aircraft I would think would be right up Conrad's alley! If you read this Tim, I am deeply enjoying the "Black Bullet" pusher fighter (XP-56)!

If you are using FS2004, the FS2002 model will work jut fine for you. However the sounds are aliased to the B206. Kind regards, Jeremy

I have FSX (SP2 and soon to be Acceleration) which is a problem. I have no idea how to convert an aircraft from a previous sim to FSX let alone to SP2/Accel compatibility.
