If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Great shots Doug......and thanks for the heads up Wink
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Magnificent shots Doug Wink  Not to be pushy, but what's your opinion on the CLS Piper Arrow? I find that the handling is pretty weird when it comes to turning, but maybe that's just me Grin Other than that I find it to be a great plane.  Lovely job Smiley

Well thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and Jake I found the aircraft very sensitive when flying it.

Now I have not spent much time with it yet but I think that sensitivity can be adjusted at the joy stick level, but not sure.

It is a fun aircraft to flight simulate around in, I also found when I deleted all the passengers that it still showed them when flying...not sure if that is normal or not for the flight simulator... Smiley
