Finally have a few bucks to spare , Ive had a shite of a week ..... and i want to shopping smile.gif Whats the feeling out there about the flying stations Sea fury and Bucc ?
Ive had a look at their site and both read up well (as you would expect ) but i cant find any reviews .

I have the UKMIL bucc , but for some reason it always locks up my system (even after re-install) . Remember your talking to Mr "ctrl e " here , so systems arent really a priority ..... just has to look good . Both are going for $15 (USD) they also have a nice little Mew Gull , which might be interesting.

Had the SeaFury been done by Warbirdsim, A2A or now, Alabeo it would have a lot more visual appeal. People want to see those rivets, dzus fasteners and PK screws.

PK screws??? smile.gif
Remember the 50-50-90 rule. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong!

PK wink.gif .. engineering term for the head on many fasteners for the wooden floor boards on the old aircraft types huh.gif .... but to some , they call themselves engineers it simply means PK chewing gum ! ..... one i met was a classic ! the bloke i mean blink.gif I would not even give him my mountain bike to work on .

I have the The Flying Stations Bucc (also the UKMIL model) - its good without being stunning (as you might expect). I would say its worth the investment

Dart , i think your right , i may have been a little hasty in my judgement of it. When you think about the price ..... and no body can really judge freeware (UKMIL) I think we get a bit spoilt , with so many things to pick from.
