- doesnt appear to be any NZ schemes though. 
OH , was i impressed , i specific,y chose the dutch PBY since she is the closet to the one owned by The Catalina Club Association in New Zealand
With the typical sounds .. to most of you that never herd a Catalina , its exactly like the DC-3 , the humbling drone as it climbs out or touring the cities
For those who possibly got a ride in at the last Wigram airshow , I no of one good friend heading to Ardmore from Christchurch just for a flight in it .
He asked me if I had a Cat , i did but nothing like this one , so guess the selling point for me , guess ill see him shortly for his test flight
Now for my first water landing , the free NZReal Tekapo , i was looking after the amphibian , keep her to fresh water for a start .
The cockpit , so far every thing works .. i do like the left /right mouse button control for the switchs .
A single engine takeoff as yet is a failure , recon take take a lotta fuel out , she'd come unstuck .
Yeah .. be good to see a NZ paint , just seen Paul post on it .. DOH!
