Paul , most highly recommended by myself , it almost has it own built-in Accusim , absolutely worth it ! Ideal for the the NZ lakes tours , buy it !

Not to mention Chris 'Eagleskinner' Brisland has done the Catalina Clubs scheme .

Paul it has to be done. She is the epitome of FSX modeling, no ego's got in the way of making this bird, I love the fun of the cold and dark startups and the drop out of the sky if you thrash or don't manage it flying. Just enough to keep a sim pilot busy.

Just to help with the decision. smile.gif

One of the first aircraft I purchased. An oldie, but a goodie; think low and slow but with plenty of character.


Heading over the Port Hills towards Lyttelton harbour

Cant wait. A Lakes tour? Or major coast bays? Be awesome to do a multi-night/week tour of the waterways of NZ

Yeah, its worth it for the sound alone, glorious startup and love the way it changes pitch when you alter the throttles

They've just added the JustFlight Constellation now too at half price, in addition to the Catalina, C5 and Blackhawk
Do love the Connie, might pick that up before the 4th

Thanks for the heads up ... I've been waiting for a good price on this model, and now I'm now also the proud new owner of the Catalina!

... absolutely awesome models which my flying skills cannot give the attention they deserve! (Ctrl-E startups for me .... winkyy.gif )

Cheers Esq.
