I recently finished a new model for the Clearview RC Flight Simulator. It is a low polygon model of the Scorpion Gunship aircraft from the movie Avatar. Most of the modeling was done in Maya. Then I loaded the model into AC3D to prepare it for the Clearview Simulator.

The model is available for free. You can download it here. I hope you enjoy it.

   Very cool! How long did it take to make?

   I spent a few evenings working on creating the model geometry and textures. I modeled the geometry in Maya and then setup the model hierarchies in AC3D. I had to be careful not to have any 5 sided polygons or flipped surface normals. Stefan the programmer of the Clearview RC Simulator was a big help and set up the dynamics for the tilt rotor linkage.

   Andrew,
   Nice work on the SIM. I wish I had the time and talent to create my own sims.
   If you ever do an F9F5 Pather, please let me know. I have looked all over and can't find one for ClearView.
   This is the primary Jet my father flew in the Navy and I would really like to show him one.

   Hi Kent.

   When I searched for existing F9F-5 and F9F-5P flight sim models I found a company called vertigo studios has created one for Microsoft Flight sim.

   Here is a link to their webpage:
   http://www.vertigostudios.co.uk/f9f

   There is also a free model Grumman F9F-5 Panther for Microsoft Flight sim here:

   If you use the x-plane flight simulator there is a free Grumman F9F-2 Panther model here:

    Hi Haitham.

    I haven't noticed any RC model companies selling working remote control models of the Scorpion Gunship. You would have to custom build your own if you wanted one.
