I have been enjoying some fun streams by Chevyrules and tonight by FlightSaitek flying some tail draggers, the Beaver and the Cessna 195.
Any interest out there to get a Tail dragger fly in...maybe include a landing comp?
I understand that the CSL's are not yet there for these planes so that may be a show stopper...???
Just wanted to throw it out there as I have been enjoying the hell out of the Beaver while also getting some more DC-3 time in as well.
Kinda afraid of the Cessna 195 if I am honest, that thing looks like your trying to land on the moon.
BTW...thanks for the streams guys.

Still getting up to speed with PE, but I am very interested in this. I hope to complete my PPL this year in a Citabria.

Re: Tail dragger Fly in...any interest?
The main issue is the lack of CSL's for the types of planes that would be in this, all the planes will look like off balance 172's I think.
If/when they come in we can pick this up and give it a try.

I'd love to get a taildragger added to the X-Plane CSL suite. Let me know which planes you'd want to fly for something like this along with a link to the developer's web site and I'll reach out to them for permission to convert these and make them available.

There is also the C195 by Albeo, you might have their contact already? I personally don't own the C195 yet but it is on my list, from FlightSaitek's streams that looks like a real handful on touch down

Re: Tail dragger Fly in...any interest?
I would participate in a tail dragger fly in...
The Carenado C185F would be a great addition to the CLS collection.
I think another fun idea would be a Float plane fly in: I don't suppose there are any controlled Seaplane bases in PE...
The Carenado C185F with the bush extension pack would also be a good float plane CSL.

Carenado hasn't worked out what they're comfortable releasing as a CSL yet, so I'll need to focus on other developers.
