Default DC-3

FlyBoy.....Full Scale...Sounds fun...got a few hrs in a "3"....Is it a "Pratt" powered or "Wright" powered?.....Wright has the "short" cowling and the Pratt has the "long" cowling......Good airplane and its plenty loud.......watch out for the "Hamburger" door....door on left side by prop.....If #1 is running and you open the door your instant Hamburger......Cruises @ 140 mph.......Rusgmil....Still not like the "Real" thing though is it?...Did you get a chance to fly a "Super" 3?........I worked on "3's" some yrs ago and thats how I ended up getting some time....changed a pair of engines and helped a guy recover the rudder and reinstall it......worth every second of work...........Bill......
