What more could you ask for?
Recently discovered and downloaded the excellent Beechcraft Volpars by Brian Gladden, and started in on some repaints for tjhe amphibian:

The last shot is from a hair raising takeoff from a lake in Maine. I was at full throttle, with the yoke pulled back as the shore got closer and closer, the aircraft lifting from the water just as I was about to hit the beach. The steep angle is to clear the hill and trees just beyond the beach! Grin

Thanks for stopping by

Nice shots and liveries on that aircraft...

I like the two tone brown myself...

Just a thought...but check to see if your water rudders are in the up position for takeoff...makes a difference...in a real aircraft you will hear the noise they make if they are left down on takeoff... Grin

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Neat plane.....cool repaints Cool

"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"
