Hi,

I must say to our pilots that this authorization was given due to tests on the airplane. Tim tested some airplanes on the past too, so we asked him to test this one.

Very nice shots mate, and fantastic flying skills :)

Some words about the bird itself: you can see that the night textures are need to be aligned to the daylight version...this is true for almost all of the currently "finished" EHM repaints. This is one of the reason for the short delay in releasing the new fleet.

Also Tim, are not you use reflections ? The aircraft looks more beautiful with it ;)

After the release you will notice this planes flies as fast and powerful as a little jet, like a Fokker-70. After the release of this model by Blue Sky Mine Productions some weeks ago only, there was a long discussion about, if it is a bug or a feature. But the turboprop "pro"s are saying, this little Saab is acting as the real metal, so expect tremendous flying experience with it, and lets beleive to the modelers :P

It certainly is a very responsive bird Robert. Apparently its high power and performance are achieved by rotating the propellers much slower than normal Turbo Prop Aircraft!!!!! Yes Slower!!!! The reason this makes a difference is down to the propellers themselves, it uses a six blade configuration to achieve maximum torque and generate a much higher thrust ratio than a normal 4 or 5 bladed turbo prop. Hence the F16 like characteristics on takeoff! :)
