Downwind66 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I settled on the MK XIV, it looks nice enough, prop doesn't show the black discs that so many do! I am happy with it! Now, I am done (for now at least) !! I am getting to like this bird, hear that Larry? :rolleyes: Rick :cool::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 When I say Larry, I mean as in NMLW Larry, sorry, should have put that in the post! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSMR Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 That's the Griffon powered Spit XIV that is recently added to the library? Personally always preferred a Merlin powered VIII or IX. Powerful, sleek, liked better the rounded wings as opposed to the clipped. And sound as sexy as hell. The XIV Griffon though reminds me of the late model P-51 Mustangs. Just a brute muscle car like aircraft. https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Fine shots of your Spit Rick. Glad you found one that you like. :cool: :D Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankees Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Good to hear you found something you like. Did you try that P-40 in the end? Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Thanks for commenting Jan! No, if you're referring to the Curtis 40 over at the A2A site, for free. No didn't go there. I have enough of these birds to keep me busy for awhile! I think I might even have a 40 over on my external drive? Thanks and have a nice evening!

Nice. Supposedly it had a max TAS of 380 kts at FL250. https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
