STMA is creating a series of aircraft owned by the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum. These X-Plane models will be flown by visitors on their custom built simulators

Here is what Norm LaGasse, museum executive director, has to say about our O-1 Bird Dog on skis which is currently in use on their simulator: "Ole Dog on skis is a hit with the visitors. They really enjoy the the challenge of trying to land her on the mountain glaciers." He is anticipating even more excitement when they can fly their own aircraft on simular exciting adventures.


WELCOME

THIS WEEKS FEATURED MODEL: De Havilland Beaver DHC-2.

Shade Tree Micro Aviation's business goal is to have fun turning out quality X-Plane models.
We build models For Precision Flight Controls, Inc, a leading flight simulator manufacturer.

Some of our models are donationware. We won't bug you about payment, but if you find our products worthy, a donation of $2.50 will earn you a place on our good guys list, earn our eternal gratitude, and give you one of the best X-Plane models available to fly.

We are extremely pleased to announce that our models are now featured in the X-Plane.org Store. You can browse through our model pages and click the Buy Now button to pay at the store or do your shopping at the Store and use their shopping cart to make multiple purchases.

If you would like to make a general donation in any amount, please click here.

NOTICE: Using a Beta or Release Candidate (RC) X-Plane version? Please don't contact us about model problems, unless you are just passing along the information. Betas and RC don't have all of their features enabled and are, by definition, buggy so we can not make any changes until the final, stable XP version is released. If you have the disc space, we strongly recommend that you keep at least one recent stable version of X-Plane installed in addition to any such Betas.
