VH-KDK Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Decided to see if my beloved Virtualcol Otter would work in V4. Also a good excuse to fly from Hervey Bay to Bundaberg. 1. All the parts that are meant to open and shut do open and shut! 2. Off we trundle with the re-engined DHC-3, no poncy Turbo prop but a great P&W R-2800. The 2 words I would have used in the old days don't have the best meaning today. Lucky I googled them first! 3. I hope the bloke who owns the Hellcat doesn't notice I have borrowed his engine. I love great the rumble of a good radial. 4. Over Point Vernon on our way North. 5. Thedolite Creek and Woodgate. 6. Not long to get to Bundaberg, showing off the adequate Virtualcol cockpit. Milviz it ain't but like all Virtualcol planes I find them exceptional value, perfect for the Ctrl+E aviator! 7. The Burnet River and Hinkler Allee Brücke, oops been flying in Germany too much! 8. Over Takalvan Street at Avoca with some of the large stores in view. 9. Forgot that the Otter is very hard to land. 4 bounces before settling on the runway. Off to the dentist to get my fillings replaced. 10. A view from the RFDS hangar. Hoped you enjoyed the flight and for those who own this beautiful plane it does appear to work in V4.0!

BradB Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 If it works , a heck of lot cheaper than buying the new Otter which just came out . I would sure like to meet the ferry pilots that brought your "N Otter" all the way to OZ . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested to see an Otter flying past the scenery rather than all the procedures for the flight. This is the beauty of our pastime, that there is something for every one. It caused a stir in the local pub as I heard some sugar cane N utter, C utter, St utter and M utter about my N Otter! What a shame he had margarine and not B utter on his salad roll.
