The BINGO 4S built by I.C.P. S.r.L ,Castelnuovo Don Bosco (Asti) Italy, is an ultralight airplane STOL (short takeoff and landing) two-seater side by side, high-wing monoplane, with a tricycle carriage and full metal construction. Uses the same structure of SAVANNAH which differs only in some small details and in the engines.
Bingo 4S using an HKS 4-stroke engine is also a very good airplane for trips during which you can appreciate his great qualities of stability and economy.
This reproduction comes from my Savannah model which I changed interiorly an externally to reproduce the differences between the two aircraft. The model was released with two different colors as used by two different civilians operators , an Italian and a Spaniard.
The model besides a 2D panel has a working 3d panel and can be driven only by the Virtual cockpit, see the pictures, contained in the folder documents\$ Read_me which shows the panel in its current configuration.
The technical data and flight characteristics are derived from official data of the manufacturer.
Visit the site www.maxtac.it which contains all of my newer models.
Good flights!

I'm not very well versed with english so it is not always easy to write down these notes, so I have found in a freeware model from a famous Flight designer Tim Piglet Conrad the following note that reflect perfectly what I want to say about my works:
"This model was built to the best of my skills, knowledge, and simply to my own tastes and standards.
If something is "missing", or "wrong", oh well, you got it for a good price:-) For a one-man shop, I think I do pretty well:-p
As for repaints, new versions, etc. I have no idea if, when, or what. So please, no "placing orders".
These files shouldn't harm your computer, but I accept no responsability for their use and effect.
Play with it,do repaints, give to friends or enemies, but do not make money off of it without my express approval. This also goes for any other peoples' files in this release.
Also,if you want to re-post the plane, or its repaints, on your site, or another site, please ask me first:) I usually say yes, unless my plane been too corrupted or hacked by you or others.
I only upload my models to my web site and to SurClaro, and Simviation.com. If you find one of my planes anywhere else, I cannot guarantee its integrity. Whoever re-posted the plane might be better able to help you if you have any trouble, if he did any mods and left an e-mail addy
I have nothing against other sites, I just want to keep things simple, and easy to track.
Good Luck."
