Each to his own, U_S, but as far as I'm concerned, real aeroplanes have propellers, and the best ones can land on a duckpond or a golf course (A much more sensible use for them than knocking silly balls around, if you ask me).

It looks like the Dornier is back on my christmas list too. Thumbs Up

Actually, I've got one already - a free download for ahem, coff, coff, MS Flight Simulator 2004. I'll maybe do a repaint on it, if I can figure out the textures: haven't looked yet...

EDIT -------

Aimail, you are too young to want one of those, they are for middle-aged men who won't admit they aren't twenty-five any more. whisper

Isn't there a division of Dornier still active?


Dornier itself is dead, it has crashed after the demise of the "Do 728"-project in the post 9-11 days.
This firm is new.

As a note, it might be of interest, that the Seastar itself never was a project of "Dornier" as a company, but by the "Dorniers" as family.

Kind of a way of proving the concept of the famous "Wal" with more modern technology (composites, TNT-wing, turboprops).

Good luck on them for selling the SeaStars.
The concept is sound and there is a market for at least 300-500 amphibian aircraft of all sizes (excluding ground-effect-vehicles which have a HUGE market of their own) around the world. Thumbs Up


Rattler, that Lancair IV would surely be a nice surprise under my christmas-tree Thumbs Up

That reminds me: Rattler, you do realise the Lancair comes as a kit? I hope you've got a big workshop, and a big pot of glue. Wink2
