Pman Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Apologises I missed this one! We are working on "project Spitfire" and should have a few things to show you in Feb/March The process of modelling the Spitfire is complicated with the various marks, something we are addressing from the outset, all will be revealed...

Python Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Chop chop you guys, my attempt to save almost £3k for a short flight in the real thing isn't going so well at the moment ;) http://www.boultbeeflightacademy.co.uk/#!about/c7bf [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment
PLP Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Chop chop you guys, my attempt to save almost £3k for a short flight in the real thing isn't going so well at the moment ;) http://www.boultbeeflightacademy.co.uk/#!about/c7bf Especially since for the price of one spitfire half hour you can buy a gaming rig, a great joystick, occulus rift, pretty much the whole DCS collection, and still have a grand to spare:music_whistling:.

Random Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If they would let you take the controls it would be worth it though! The website states that under no circumstances would they allow that. Link to comment
arglmauf Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If they would let you take the controls it would be worth it though! The website states that under no circumstances would they allow that. Their 6000£ introduction course includes actual handling of the spitfire:D This is the whole shabang beginning with the Chipmunk/Tigermoth working your way to what I guess is 30-50 minutes of getting to turn the Spitfire in the air. Not pocket change though^^ Link to comment

Not pocket change though^^ Well I have done the Chipmunk already, it was the first aircraft I ever flew or flew in. But it was so long ago, 1972 from RAF Turnhouse now Edinburgh Airport, last week was the first time I was there since way back then, this time it was with Ryan Air as a passenger, still it brought back memories :pilotfly: Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron Link to comment

Pman Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I was actually there when they did those ground runs, I was standing about 10ft to the right of shot taking piccies. Beautiful sound when you are standing 10ft away from one of those on startup :) Pman Link to comment

Hummingbird Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Never liked the clipped wing version, full span version all the way! Link to comment
Random Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Well they are looking into ways of doing both iirc but cant guarantee anything. Clipped arent as pretty I agree but the roll rate improvement is gonna be nice! Link to comment
