Jack Sawyer Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Very interesting plane, tase radials are almost the diameter of the fuselage. I love the mountains in the distance in the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John It's the STMA-Beech 18, available at the usual outlet. There is a floatplane version. The external visuals & flight performance are top notch. The interior is retro subdued 2D, some people have complained about that. Have a good look at the promo pics. Love the sound. On approach, throttling back, the radials sound like an 80 year old Irish peat cutter who has been smoking & drinking whiskey since he was 10 years old - clearing his throat prior to expectorating into his hearth. If that imagery is too visceral for you then perhaps imagine the sound of a vintage Fordson Major tractor with piston slap in #1 & #3 cylinders. & I paid full boat, which I rarely do for aircraft. So that tells you something TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
