Three Updates + Poll Results

Hey all,

Another big update here about what is going on with the channel.

First off, as many of you know, the campaign for our new book has been successfully completed a few days ago over on Indiegogo: http://stukabook.com. +1600 backs (amongst them many of you), from 61 countries not only made this project possible but allowed us to push through all the stretch goals. Another special thank you here to all of you for your support and help with this campaign! We are now going to focus a lot on the final steps and both Bernhard and I have been really busy with this, but it is a ton of fun seeing everything come together. If you are supporting us on Indiegogo, we will also be putting updates there until the books are being send out.

Second, your contribution to the 'In Defense of...' poll that was run here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/56673890 Thanks very much for voting (113 votes, that's about a third of you which is a great turnout!), the results surprised me - I didn't expect the B-26 Marauder to win but it did both here on Patreon and with the YT Members. My personal favourite , the SM.79 Sparviero is the runner-up, so I am taking both of those planes and placing them as my priority. Special shout-out also to those that have suggested other planes, like the Bf 110, Blenheim, Fairey Battle and more - I've added them to my spreadsheet.

And last, the upcoming Early Access releases:

Early next week (fingers crossed) I will release three new videos incl. the A-10 video y'all voted for in the last poll. The timing depends on getting the greenlight by Thrustmaster, with whom I partnered for this video.

Are you a fan of Inside The Cockpit? Well, three new episodes are nearly done! I've sent them off to my 'reviewer' who checks the editing and makes sure I don't have strange gaps or bad audio, and once I get this corrections. In theory this means that you will get six videos (well, two times three) in early access relatively soon!

Any suggestions or feedback, let me know in the comments below and as always, big thank you to all of you for your support!

Chris
