VH-KDK Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The Fairey Firefly A welcome new plane to add to my hangar. Beautifully modelled wing folding sequence. The real thing at the Royal Thai Airforce Museum in Bangkok First flight at Bowerman, my test airport! Many thanks to Phil at Bravo Zulu who helped me get it installed tonight, not the method I am used to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does she fly? cheers Thanks Ray, she seems to go well but I am not a serious flier! I spend a lot of time outside the cockpit admiring the sky and scenery.

flyingleaf Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Great shots Martyn. At first I thought you broke the wings pulling a few of "Jack stunts". Nice plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Amazing comparison with the real one, Martyn. You knew that this would be sold for the sim when you were travelling in Thailand, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
