Another low 'n slow:
Pavel Toman seems to have stopped producing models, but his last offeringis still a good way to mix with the crowd at NZHN.
There are plenty of Diamonds attached to CTC Aviation Training.
If you switch on aircraft labels you can pick an AI stablemate and just fly along with him, to wherever.
Saves all that navigation stuff, and hones the formation flying skills.



I've also grown to like the lines of this little aircraft, because you can paint such a long sweep through that narrow waistline.

I remember seeing these down at the last Ardmore airshow a few years ago (is there another one due anytime soon?)

Is that model built primarily as an AI model or is it meant to be flyable? The quality doesn't look up to scratch, compared to some of the other light GA craft available at the moment.

An earlier version was used for GNZLAP AI - that's what you see in the background.
The model was updated somewhat after that.
Doesn't bother me that it's maybe a FS2002+ standard, it fits the Hamilton scenery.
Neither are state-of-the-art, but I prefer consistency in a sim to outright eye candy.
At RealNZ Tauranga I prefer that little Cessna 150, for example.
