                     The Cannibal Queen




The Cannibal Queen is a yellow Stearman biplane made famous
in Stephen Coonts' recent novel of the same name.  The story
concerns a summer trip taken in the Queen, making stops in
all forty-eight continental states.  It's kind of an aerial
On The Road, filled with rich characters, descriptions of
places most people will never see, and insights into why men
are driven to seek the sky.

I enjoyed the book so much that I decided to recreate the
flight using FS4.  The Aircraft and Adventure Factory made
it possible to create a fairly accurate replica of the
Queen, and I'm now working on the scenery for the trip.

Included are:

     Queen___.sim        The Queen's performance model
     
     Queen___.      The appearance model
     
Copy those two files to your FS4 directory and enjoy!  For
aircraft designers, also included are:

     Ref-Cann.sim        The reference model
     
     Queen.afx      The crated AAF Aircraft
     
I would greatly appreciate your comments on this, my first
AAF aircraft.  Also, if anyone has developed an accurate
performance model of the Stearman, I'd appreciate it.  I can
