Cudo's to the FS World:

     First I would like to thank Mr. Frank Safranek for making available
his original design for this aircraft. FreeFlight Design text file is also
included...

     Next I would like to acknowledge and thank Captain Erik Ellis for his
adding of the cockpit and instrument lighting, along with the transparent
props for this CV580...  Also for all his assistance with various FS related
items in dealing with numerous aspects of different aircraft models.

     Lastly I want to thank all of the "Hard Work" of the FS World
Authors & Community for all the great tools and add-on's available
for use, making these repaints easier to do...  These folks know 
who they are and unfortunately there are too many to list.  As with
these authors, I only do this for fun and not profit.  Like them I 
enjoy sharing my work (FOR FREE).
