Icecode and Star have started developing the [[Hughes OH-6 Cayuse]]. OH-6 Cayuse (nicknamed "Loach", after the requirement acronym LOH - light Observation Helicopter) is a single-engine light helicopter with a four-bladed main rotor used for personnel transport, escort, attack missions, and observation. | Icecode and Star have started developing the [[Hughes OH-6 Cayuse]].

Work is underway on the Hawker Tempest V. A "Hurricane on steriods" perhaps best known for its contribution to the anti-V1 campaign during 1944. It's a big brute of an aircraft capable of over 440 kts in a dive. The early models had the unfortunate habit of becoming detached from their tails. The Series 2 will be modelled here - that problem was considered to have been cured. Perhaps in the fullness of time we will add a V1 to the inventory to give a bit of target practice. | Work is underway on the Hawker Tempest V.
