All hail Capt'n Jakey!
Is he looking up at the sky watching a plane fly and listening to the radio chatter?
Awesome!

Re: Recognize this radio?
Come on guys. This is the radio we used in the Cub.
Jake is holding it with a leather cover on it. I've had this radio for about 15 years. It was with me on every flight as a backup, along with a Leatherman knife, flashlight, a big old can of pledge (cleaning the leading edge of the wings), and a can of silicone spray to keep the yoke shafts nice and free.
For the radio, we removed the cover and the 2d panel is a nice photo of it. The sounds you hear when you turn it on and off are the actual sounds it makes. Don't forget, it has an older battery too, so it has about 2 hrs max battery life. A little "battery" word will pop up when the batter is low, just like the real thing.
Next, take a close look at our hats:

Re: Recognize this radio?
And what a beauty the L-39 is. In reality and in FSX - Lots of personality, especially the looong engine spool time.Jigsaw wrote:Most definitely!levkovvvv wrote:is that plane on the right l-39 albatross?
Thanks for the behind-the-scenes bonus info, Scott
Re: Recognize this radio?
Scott, we knew it was the radio from the FSX Cub. Thing is, who uses radio in a Cub???

I spy a P-51 Mustang. Some on site research maybe?

Nice Scott
Jakey needs to get some aviators, too I'm never without mine.
