Repaint Notes
-------------

This is my fourth attempt at repainting a flight sim aircraft for MS Flight Sim 2k2, and it is my first attempt at repainting Frans Vranken's AS-350 Squirrel. My first three projects were: (1) the AZ DPS AR Bell-206L; (2) the PHI Bell-206L; and (3) the AIR LIFE Bell-206L. All of these models are available on www.simaviation.com.

I have enjoyed receiving all of the positive feedback comments, from those who have downloaded my repaints; and because of this, I continually look for additional repaint projects that I think the sim-aviation public will enjoy. This particular repaint was inspired by me living in the Pheonix metro area and always seeing SKYFOX10 hovering over some news scene. I liked the mystic black livery and felt that it would be a neat repaint project.

I will say that I ran into a few technical difficulties, and thus you will realize that the final repaint is not 100% authentic. Currently, I lack the ability to create the gyro cam; the cockpit doors on the real aircraft do not have lower glass panels (so I had to shift the logo on the model); and the tail boom on the model did not want to accept a red stripe (It always turned it brown, so I kept the red stripe on the body of the model only). So basically, the end result is a simialar -- but not exact -- repaint of the real SKYFOX10. If I am ever able to correct these inaccuracies, I will re-release the model. But until then, I felt that the model was good enough for an initial release.

I would like to thank Frans Vranken, the original AS-350 creator, for designing and posting such a professionally completed flight sim aircraft for all of us to enjoy; and more specifically, I want to thank him for allowing me to repaint this aircraft and share it with the sim-aviation public. Also, a special thanks should go out to Jean-Pierre Langer and Arne Barthels for their contribution to this sim model.
