An airliner conversion of seven B-17F/G by Saab for a Swedish airline in 1944.
This aircraft was made by Jacques Brault as a Boeing B-17F, which you can get at: http://forums.x-plan...__~~~~~Modified by Urban F with permission.
There were only minor changes to the aircraft and the paint is just a modified version of the original by Jacques Brault. So, what looks good is mostly thanks to him.
The Felix had three freight compartments: Nose 400 kg, between cockpit and navigation compartment 4000 kg and one in the tail.
The forward passenger compartment had six transverse seats, the rear five forward facing on the left side and three on the right side.
In the toilet compartment the tail wheel mechanism blocked the toilet when the wheel was retracted. So mostly it wasn't. This is the reason I've made it non-retracting.
