Heavy-sounding radial engine, looked like a Sea Fury with square-cut wings, what looked like a pod of some sort beneath at least the port wing (not sure about the other one). Blue symbols of some kind on cowling and rudder with checkerboards under wings about half span. Not going very fast. Regards and thanks in advance PJM Back to top Colin Lourie Guest Posted: Thu May 03, 2007 10:13 pm    Post subject: Re: Aircraft ID required Possibly a Yak 52. Their engines sound like that. The undercarriage only retracts part way into the wing and might look like a pod from some angles.

I downloaded one for FS2004 and looked at it from similar angles and it all fitted.
