Almost...Master Eagle Skinner Chris B will play with it a few days more, he reckons.
Meantime I have to decide whether to drop a Pitts sign on the tail of the beast despite it being a Christen Eagle:

Here's the real thing BTW, Chris has it pretty much as good as you'll see I reckon.

Wow that looks rather nice and - pretty hard to see the difference between the Eagle and Pitts (they come from the same factory now anyway) - I am surprised Chris did an FS9 repaint! - must dust the Eagle off.

Typical of Chris's work , Brilliant ! .. I'd keep the PITTS logo , with maybe a little Christen Eagle stencil close by

Andy I spoke to Chris earlier in the week, he's been busy he tells me, but is hoping to upload the repaint as soon as he gets a chance.
I'd email it to you, but it's nigh on 8MB...

It was a special request after I flew in JAG, and I'm very grateful to Chris for taking it on.
I know he has plans to use it for FSX as well...

Sorry 'bout the delays folks, really I am... Job interviews, three active commercial Betas and one in developement, two freeware projects and a "call to duty" as simflight "Front page deputy underling".

I will get the JAG paint out very soon - in DXT3 and DXT5 formats. It's all ready to go...

OK... look for zkjag.zip in the FS9 paints file library. (give them a while to go active with it)

I hear the pleas to put "Pitts" on the tail, but I won't go into copyright risks. It's a Christen. Besides - I am working on a Pitts paint with other potential models.

Nice thanks Chris - I am off to Avsim to find it!

Like Naki and others, I am off to avsim.
Thanks for painting it

...but you can PM me with an email address to send the Pitts tail to, if you want it!

Thanks Chris.

hi guys,

New challenge for anyone interested! I have recently purchased an S1 with a mate, here is a photo of it. Obviously you will need more detailed shots, however it is currently undergoing a full re-bag and completely new paint scheme. I have an S1S, S1-11B, S2A/B/C on FS2004, but none of them have the correct handling although they look and fly very well. They all handle like a super monoplane (I have flown an Extra), which isn't correct. Should be a bit more like the Christen Eagle that I have, in other words, very direct and responsive, with a good feel for neutral, unlike the Extra which is very differcult to find neutral in the rolling plane.

Anyway, here is a photo of our machine as it is currently.

regards,

Andy
