Let me tell you, life sure has picked up speed recently. Despite this fact I have still managed to at least crank this one out. It has been 8 MONTHS since I first began work on this airframe and since then this aircraft has evolved to be one of my greatest builds to date. What started out as a simple testbed has become a near-simulator level experience that I am sure both pilots and enthusiasts alike will enjoy.

The Freestyle S26A Canary is a two-seater, high wing, single engine land airplane suited for recreational flight and training. It is essentially a Cessna 152 that has the performance of a 172 if not a bit better. It comes stock equipped with a Lycoming O-320 producing 160 horsepower which lets it cruise at a leisurely 105 knots. Other than that, it has a prop, two wings, and some wheels which in all honesty are all you really need as a pilot.

Contradicting what I just said this thing is hecking loaded with features!

Highly detailed model with a fancy paint scheme

Flight model based on almost 250 hours of experience with a similar platform IRL, specifically it features realistic handling, V-speeds, prop wash, and even stall/spin characteristics

Fully interactive cockpit with (DEEP BREATH) realistic engine startup and operation including the usage of mixture and carb heat, Interactive avionics suite that grants the ability to shoot an included ILS approach into Wright, all avionics can be interacted with to some degree other than the GPS which may or may not have functionality updated in the future. Basically the cockpit cockpits

Also, it has a walkaround feature too so you can at least pretend to care about your preflight

Am I missing something . . . . OH yeah it also comes with a 12 month limited warranty!

Thanks to BaconEggs for doing a ton of coding wizardry as well as being a constant emotional support human.

Thanks to MisterT for the neat walkaround thing!
