VH-KDK Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I bought the Stearman in the recent sale at GAS and I love it. For me one of the stand outs is the excellent sound set of the Continental R670 radial. Music to the ears and no distortion at all. Getting ready to fly with the speakers volume cranked up! Here it is leaving Goodwood at the circuit's St Mary's corner. Infamous for where the great Stirling Moss ended his motor racing carrier back in 1962 when his Lotus left the track and hit an embankment critically injuring him.

John Mac Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Great shots and got to fly in a Stearman. Wore the goggles and leather jacket as it’s really cold in an open cockpit. Those radials can spit a bit of oil at you hence the need for goggles. Fun flight though!! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a few in the recent sale and I am very happy with them. It must be so hard for the devs to decide which platform they are going to make planes for but I suppose they have to go where the money is. I am running XP, LM and M$F$ at the moment and despite telling myself I was not going to buy any sceneries for 2020 I have already succumbed.
