About This File
FSX American Embassy UC-43. This is SimTech's Beech Model 17 modified for Flight Simulator X. The Beech 17 is one of the most distinctive aircraft of its time. The military version was the UC-43 Traveler, a light transport biplane with negative or backward staggered wings. In June 1939 Beech delivered three examples of its popular commercial Model 17 Staggerwing aircraft for evaluation under the designation of YC-43. These were later assigned to the U.S. air attaches at the American Embassies in London and Paris. Designed in a royal blue and yellow paint scheme this aircraft has a 2D and 3D panel for FSX with working main and cargo doors with cowl panel animation operating. Also included are pictures and history of the original aircraft. Textures and FSX updates by Mark Rooks of RSDG Aircraft.
