Hi Mike

The Extra EA 260 doesn't appear to have an ICAO Type Designator assigned.

The CAA doesn't show one for G-EXTR and ICAO doesn't list an Extra EA 260.

Glad you know what to do with the error, as I am clueless on this.

I can't find an ICAO for EA.260 either - thanks for checking Anmer.

More than happy to do one as a ZZZZ-E260 non-standard as I have done with some of the other silhouettes I have done.

Rik, Anmer thanks for the feedback. a ZZZZ-E260 would be great

Best regards

Mike

All done - Standards Silh, DV and Generic Side.

Still need to run the process for the transparents

@Roadrunner - all done and uploaded for you, zips refreshed as well. Anymore requests, just post away

Hi Rik

Have you made a silhouette for a Helton Lark 95?

No, I have not, but I am about to make one.
As there appears to be no offical ICAO type code for the Helton Lark 95 I'll do it as ZZZZ-LARK.

Thanks Rik, much appreciated.

I couldn't find an ICAO designator either.

Rik,

Following on from the PM's, the official ICAO Type code for the Mil-171 is MI8.
M171 is another unofficial PlaneBase ICAOType code. Frustrating, but it is there DB and their prerogative to use whatever ICAO type codes they like, we just have to work with it.
Will do a DV for MI8 when I get around to a batch of silhouettes.

Thanks Rik

Hi Rik
Some additional info for you when doing the silhouettes,
The only visible differences between the Mi-8 and Mi-17 are A) the position of the tail rotor (Mi-8 right side, Mi-17 left side), B) the shape of the exhausts (Mi-8 circular, Mi-17 oval), and C) Dust shields in front of engine air intakes for the Mi-17.

Hope it helps or may be of intrest.
Regards
Steve Coulson

Thanks Steve. Always interesting to learn something new It's the little things that keep this hobby interesting!

I don't think that A) or B) would probably be picked up on a silhouette, but C) more than likely would.
A) may also play a part when doing the top view for a DV, so will have to bare this in mind.

When making a silhouette with multiple types under the same code I aim to try for the original type for the ICAOType code... unless I can't find a drawing (or a very decent image) to work with. Then I'll use whatever I can find.

Good Evening Rik,
I was wondering if you could please make me a Silhouette for a Beech (Textron Aviation) B260 King Air. I am not sure of the external diffarance between say a BE20 or the new B260 but if you could have a go please.

Many thanks and kind regards
Steve Coulson
