alexf Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Looks great, but would love to hear it! I made a recording with a portable digital rec. Quality is ok considering the environment and ambient noise. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8dA9S16sF44QzViM0thT1l4bEE Please let me know if you can "see" it as it is the first time I use a share on a private Google Drive. Maybe it allows to download. It is not a big mp3 file. Enjoy! I also added it to the Ford TriMotor page in Wikipedia in ogg format: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EAA_Ford_TriMotor_NC8407.ogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
