I know this may not go over with a lot of newer people to soaring, i.e. more recently than the 1960s, but there are still quite a few 2-33s being used for training. It would be nice to have a model in Condor that approximated it's handling qualities, cockpit layout, sight picture, etc.

I second this suggestion most vigorously!

Condor 2 is a big improvment over the already good Condor1 and the fleet is growing nicelly good matches for almost all categories except Club Class and Open Class.

I think you should prioritize some Club Class to fly against the Standard Cirrus ASW-19 is my favorite but LS-1 or Libelle might be a more balanced aproach.

We agree. EB29R will be along this winter, and I'm just about to get club class started. ASW19 and 20 will be first

Let me get the 1-26 out first, then we will consider the 2-33.

There were ~50% more standard Libelles built (601) than ASW-19 (425) so maybe that should be on the list after the 20. Just sayin...

Well if your using that argument what about the 700 Std Jantars, 840 Std
Cirri, 1050 Ls4's, or over 1200 Astirs!

Come one they need to sale their Add on Gliders and ASW-19/-20 are just the sexiest fusealage look ever built till the Js3
I don't think that 2-33 models will sale much

I'm desparate to get the Libelle done too, but there are only so many hours in a day. It will come, probably in 2019.

How about an aircraft builders toolkit like the scenery builders toolkit. The numbers of hours in a day would increase exponentially.

In any case, I appreciate the effort you and your team put into this!

It's not required. All thats needed is a 3d modelling program and skill to make the model.

You can do this with free programs. Wings3d is easy, Blender good too.

Are you guys working also on a model for the HpH 18 meter Shark?
