I was mucking about with a flexwing design for a while. I did think of doing a Quicksilver but I decided against it because I like 'navigable' aircraft ;-) It'd be really good to have a fairly detailed aircraft like the Quicksilver with an 'ultra-open' cockpit to check out the scenery that we are starting to build. I also wondered about trying to simulate a BRS system that you see on many Quicksilvers but I'm not sure if the FDMs would support such a thing. Look forward to seeing it :-) Dave Martin _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
