Guest Muaddib Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Waterman (1894-1976) was an airplane engineer with a flair for creative design. Figuring that most people couldn’t afford both an airplane and a car, and believing that the car was a necessity of modern life, Waterman set out to build a car that could be turned into an airplane. The result was the “Arrowbile,†a small plane with wings that could be detached in a few minutes. Much of the vehicle was made with standard car parts, and in fact a normal Studebaker engine powered the wheels (when in car mode) and the propeller (when in airplane mode). I had to go from Albany Creek (near Brisbane) over the a friends house near the Wivenhoe Dam. I had of choice of 2.5 hrs by road or 30 min. over the mountain by air. Decided to save time. Landed in the bean field beside his house. Model is downloaded from http://www.simviation.com/fsxvintage23.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
