supercub has flaps, more power ( mine has 180 hp) for the rest there isn't much different from a normal cub except for the structure , a normal cub is made from wood, a supercub has steel tubing covered with cloth.

this is the one I have and i really like it, it has tundra wheels and 180 HP but the Vne is at 140 Mph that's a bit slow.

Goodly morning... Smiley

There is:
-DeHavilland of Canada DHC-2 "Beaver"
For FSX and FS2004 right here at Simviation Downloads
Payware also available.

-DeHavilland of Canada DHC-3 "Otter"
For FS2004 right here at Simviation Downloads
Aircraft will work in FSX but a few of the switches/guages
are missing
Not sure about a Payware version.

-Canadian Noorduyn Norseman
For FS2004 right here at Simviation Downloads
I do believe there is one for FSX but never have used it.
Not sure about Payware version.

The Otter was/is the best Bush Aircraft (Utility Aircraft) produced in my opinion and they are worth their weight in gold on today's real aviation market.

They serve in both military and civilian liveries.

There is talk of a new Otter being produced as nothing can compare with it on the market today.

The Beaver is another great Bush Aircraft (Utility Aircraft) and second only to the Otter in my humble opinion... Grin

They serve in both military and civilian liveries also.

The Beaver won Battle Honours in the military service of the United States of America...quite a feat... Smiley

The Noorduyn Norseman is another great Bush Aircraft (Utilility Aircraft) used in Canadian Airspace.

They served in military and civilian livery also.

Take a look at the website and it is Red Lake Ontario which has quite the following for the Norseman.

http://www.norsemanfestival.on.ca/

Put several hundred hours on one and what a thrill... Smiley

The last episode of "Ice Pilots" which is "Buffalo Airways"  is a real Canadian Airline flying World War Two aircraft like the Douglas DC3 and the Curtis C46 on scheduled and chartered flights.

Joe the owner has his own Noorduyn Norseman in mint condition and they flew it last week to some float/seaplane meet.  Beautiful aircraft... Smiley

One of the few shows/television programs we watch.

Hope that helps a little... Wink






 

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
