Anytime Oscar.
I will certainly redo the tail fin, and I will cut the propeller cone so that it looks like the one on the picture.

We have an original AT-6 as a display aircraft here. I will check variant, get some pictures and post them here. The aircraft is in the standard Yellow and Blue paint scheme used by the USAAC Flight Training bases at the time.

Very nice work, whats the odds of letting two pilots in the thing?
Or at the very least an instructor in the back?

I would say in a perfect world feasible, possibly while adapting the flight model to the ones of the Dauntless or the else. That could be interesting indeed. What do you Booze and R.J think about that? |

What do you Booze and R.J think about that? Champ, Just happened to find a hack of the SBD-5 into a SNJ at M4T. As anybody who has flown a Dauntless knows its one of the most forgiving airplanes around. A great trainer. T O A D, that could be a mean instructor in the back    |

Thanks for the link Oscar. But I amend my statement about the Dauntless. The Storch will take off @ about 16 mph and land on a dime  On windy days you may not even need throttle    A birthday present from my brother:  |

The SBC would be a good flight model for the AT-6.

Check out the rest of this guys videos too. Ghost SquadronI have only watched a few but so far they are good. A short clip from Bomberguy showing a 1938 US demonstration of the Storch in New Jersey.
