Played with a full scale airplane over the holidays. This is a Superdog, which is an upgraded Cessna Model 305F Birddog. More info on the variants HERE.

Built in 2004 from spare parts as an original Birddog and modified in 2011 with a bigger engine and better propeller, this is practically a new airplane.

We had a little fun with the graphics before the airplane goes to its new home in Canada.

It’s been a minute since I’ve done anything on the model, other than stare at it.

Being a De Havilland fan, this is an interesting video. My friend with the full scale Beaver shown earlier in this thread had a chance to fly the DHC-3 Otter. In today’s world an original Otter on wheels is very rare. Most had their engines converted from the geared P&W Wasp radial to turbine power and are on floats.

More distractions from working on this project.

Visited a nice museum near Calgary. Bomber Command Museum of Canada in Nanton.
