Our new banner prompted me to post this. A fascinating book, as described in the rear cover. Heaps of Historic photos, many
never before published.

Wow, I've spent so much time simming around there lately, 'Hoki to Haast' would make a great name for a scenery project...

Someone at my local library seems to like aviation stuff, however, I suspect you might have more books on the subject than they do -
I would have been surprised if you hadn't read it..... laugh.gif

If it helps, the printer was Craig Printing Co Ltd, Invercargill : sales@craigprint.co.nz,

I'd be interested to know what it retails for...?

Re the Fox Moth, I thought a had a FS9 model, but no - Cirrus, Gipsy and Puss only... sad.gif

Yes; a Google search shows it to be a popularly repeated FS request (since 2006). Never tried building an aircraft in FSDS 3.5; might see how difficult it is. smile.gif

Two years+ later ...

The DH83 Fox Moth (for FS9) by Julian Higgs available from http://www.britsim.com/

It's ... basic ... but there is a repaint of ZK-ADI.
