NEW IN MSFS 2024: Zippy Sport V2
​
October 2025
​
The iconic Zippy Sport returns to Microsoft Flight Simulator in a completely enhanced V2 edition, rebuilt for the fidelity of MSFS 2024.
This pocket-rocket homebuilt now features refined handling, upgraded visuals, and improved systems — all available as an exclusive upgrade for existing MSFS 2020 owners.
COMING SOON: Colditz Cock
​
A remarkable chapter of aviation history is preparing to take flight once again.
The legendary Colditz Cock — the handmade escape glider built in secret by Allied prisoners during WWII — is coming soon to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
​
Recreated with meticulous research and museum-level accuracy, this aircraft represents one of the most daring engineering feats ever attempted. Every rib, strut, and fabric panel has been modelled with care to honour the ingenuity behind the original glider.
​
Soon, you’ll be able to experience the cockpit, the handling, and the story of a machine that was never meant to be seen — let alone fly.
Aviation history is about to unfold in MSFS.
COMING SOON: Whittaker MW6
​
A true classic of British microlight aviation is joining the Rara-Avis hangar.
The Whittaker MW6, renowned for its light handling, open-air character, and unmistakable silhouette, is being carefully recreated for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
​
Built from original plans and pilot references, this MW6 features authentic performance, handcrafted textures, and a flight model tuned to capture the playful, responsive nature of the real aircraft. From grassroots flying fields to quiet evening circuits, the MW6 brings a uniquely charming experience to the sim — simple, honest, and full of personality.
​
Whether you're exploring the countryside or perfecting short-field landings, the MW6 delivers a refreshing slice of microlight freedom.
​
A beloved homebuilt — reimagined for the modern simulator.
COMING SOON: Robinson Redwing
​
A spirited slice of 1930s British aviation, reborn for the modern skies.
The Robinson Redwing is nearly ready to spread its wings in Microsoft Flight Simulator. This charming open-cockpit classic—equal parts elegance, eccentricity, and vintage grit—is being rebuilt with the same attention to detail and historical accuracy that defines every Rara-Avis Sims aircraft.
​
From its fabric-and-steel construction to its unmistakable lines and delightfully honest handling, the Redwing promises an authentic step back into the golden age of flying. Expect faithful flight dynamics, period-correct instrumentation, handcrafted textures, and the immersive cockpit atmosphere you’ve come to expect.
Lightweight, lively, and brimming with character—the Redwing is almost ready for takeoff.
Stay tuned… the past is about to fly again.
