Chris Rowlands has given CIX colours to the Maule M7-260 by Mikko Maliniemiand Tomas Foosnes. The original aircraft can be downloaded from flightsim.com, file name m7260_v1.zip and update M7260_11.zip Back to top
The Piper PA38 Tomahawk is an aircraft designed specifically for pilot training. It is an aircraft you either like or dislike. Plus points are good visibility, and it is easy to land well. Negative points are tricky slow flight handling and spin recovery plus a constant tinny drumming whilst in flight in some models. Pete Chapman flies a PA38 - G-Hawk, so he clearly is one who likes it. (So does your CFI who has flown one on a few occasions real-world). The model illustrated is from the Just Flight Flying Club series, which is a payware add-on for Flight Simulator 2004. "The definitive General Aviation collection for FS in one package", say Just Flight. Back to top
The Piper PA34 Seneca - a medium range light twin much used incommercial light aviation - air taxis, air ambulances etc. Ruth McTighe flies one of these with the Club as G-FLYI, London's Capital Radio traffic spotting aircraft. This model is another from the Just Flight Flying Club series. Back to top
If you didn't learn to fly real world in a Tomahawk, we bet you learned in a Cessna 150/152! These are fun little aircraft which won't take you in comfort to the south of France, but are great for Club evenings around Gloucester or Biggin Hill. Tim's paint scheme is bright enough to wakeup the sleepiest little airfield. This model is another from the Just Flight Flying Club series. Back to top
Fancy a bit of up-diddly-up and down-diddly-down? The Cessna 150L Aerobat might just be the plane for you! Spin it, loop it - throw it around Just remember which way up is the ground! This repaint is for the Fravin Cessna 150L.This is a freeware add-on for Flight Simulator 2004, which can be downloaded from http://drk.free.fr/tutoriels/creation/c150_en.php La documentation est en français, ainsi si c'est un problème - apprend le français ! Back to top
If aerobatics is not your thing, maybe the Cessna 150L Commuter might be more to your taste. Like the Aerobat, it was built in the Reims factory in France, so is considered a little bit special. This is the deluxe Cessna, designed for cross-country flying. This repaint is also for the Fravin Cessna 150L, from http://drk.free.fr/tutoriels/creation/c150_en.php La documentation cela est aussi en français, ainsi si c'est un problème - apprend le plus français!

The old workhorse - the Cessna 172 . With a production run up to 1986 of over 34,000, there are more of them in existence than any other light aircraft and statistically they have the best safety record. Tim has created a smart paint job for the FS2004 default C172. It can also be used on the RealAir Simulations Cessna 172SP. Download the FS9 version here. The same Club paint scheme is now available for FSX in the specific variant of the Club Training Department. The download, by Peter Dodds, includes both G-CIXD and G-CIXN, but as with all default aircraft, the registration can easily be changed to one of your choice. Download the FSX version here. Back to top
This is G-CIXH, another variant of the Cessna 172 - the Flight1 172R. This is a payware add-on aircraft for Flight Simulator 2004. Back to top
TheCessna 172's bigger brother the 182 features a constant speed propeller and a 130 knots crusing speed. If you are coming into Gloucester or Biggin Hill from some distance on Club nights, this could be a good choice of aircraft. This is exactly what Tim has done, which is probably why it was his first repaint for the Club. This is one of several superb aircraft from the Caranedo stable and one of Tim's regular aircraft (G-OCIX). Back to top
The next size up Sir? Try the 6-seat Cessna 206 Stationair, its 310hp turbocharged engine giving you 140 knots cruising speed at any altitude with a 700 miles range. That's about Nice to Gloucester, if you fancy it one Club night, although going the other way would be better for your social life! This is another aircraft from the Caranedostable. Back to top
The luxurious BeechBaron 58 - a serious option for that south of France trip, capable ofcruising at twice the speed of the humble Cessna 152. Several clubmembers fly the Baron. Tim's paint scheme is for the (payware) Dreamfleet version. Back to top
Spotthe difference! This is an alternative paint scheme for the Dreamfleet Beech Baron 58. Back to top
Tim Arnot has written a short tutorialon how to change the registration letters on your favourite aircraft,where Flight Simulator does not do it automatically from within the menu structure. It involves a bit of work with a graphics package and an extended bitmap converter, but is very rewarding when finished. Hereis G-ANOD, the Tiger Moth by John Woodside, with a new registration added by Peter Dodds. Back to top
