    Ants Tiger Moth for MSFS - DH82B Queen Bee G-BLUZ


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2020 - Civilian prop repaints

    Description: A repaint of the Ant's Airplanes Tiger Moth for MSFS as DH82B Queen Bee G-BLUZ / LF858. The DH82B was a radio-controlled target tug that used the Tiger Moth's engine, tailplane, wings and landing gear but with a spruce and plywood-covered fuselage. The radio receiver and servos to operate the ignition, throttle, elevator and rudder were installed in the faired-over rear cockpit.

    The result was the first really practical pilotless aircraft and more than 400 were built. It was usually operated remotely from a console on the ground or on a ship but could be flown manually from the front cockpit.

    LF858 c/n 1435 was built in 1944 by Scottish Aviation and restored to flying condition in the 1980s by Mr Barry Bayes, starting from a bare fuselage. It's now owned and flown as a 2-seater by a syndicate called (of course) The Bee Keepers based at RAF Henlow in Bedfordshire. G-BLUZ is the world's only airworthy Queen Bee - a unique survivor.
