By 98Aerospace
The nova is a small one person homebuild kitset aircraft. With two central five bladed props and nimble performance, the Nova will meet your everyday needs as a small acf. Made out of the ply box technique and composite molds, it is a very sturdy and fun plane to fly. It is impossible to fit two people in, as this plane is smaller that a Cessna 172. It also uses the same prop system as a fantrainer.
As this plane if mildly unstable in parts, follow theese tips:
When going into a steep dive, throttle to Idle.
Land at 60 kts.
Takeoff at 80kts.
This was hamburgers entry to the 98Aerospace's three week competition.
Enjoy! - the 98Aerospace team.

SkySport98

SkySport98
After strapping gutsy test pilots into our work-in-progress aircraft for months now, we though that they needed a bit of luxury, so we designed a leasurely and fun, single seat stunt / sport biplane to take the ease off the job.
The result was so spectacular, we decided to share it to you for you to enjoy aswell! Originally designed as a test aircraft for the latest XSTOL technology, this Biplane is very lighweight, with a fuselage built out of an Epoxy / Carbon / Chevlar sandwich. Our airfoil researchers have found the perfect airfoil shape to take advantage of the aircrafts' powerfull 315 Hp radial engine, and our designers at the 98' shop have found a way to make a stable wing system that doesn't require wire bracing. We have also teamed up with Ferrari to taylor make our leather cockpit seating and dash panel, and Avidyne to supply the systems for our deluxe PFD glass display.
The SkySport has been made ready so it can be entered into the RENO air races, and has been given a nimble flight characteristic for optimum performance. It can fly at the lowest speed of 25 Kts, and max of 200, and can take off almost instantly thanks to XSTOL technology. XSTOL is STOL, but under the restrictions that the aircraft can take off in less than 800 ft and carry a load greater than its own weight, and we have acheived XSTOL by far, and the team at the lab are very happy with this indeed!

Teknetium98

TEKNETIUM98
By 98Aerospace
The team welcomes you back to fly another of our brilliant line of experimental aircraft, this time, 98Aero is under new management! But before we talk about that, let us tell you about the aircraft..
The Teknetium (Tech-net-ie-um) is very much a multi purpose aircraft, designed for not only recreational and sport flying, but also operational flying in the force, postage shipping, carrier work (army versions fitted with guns are not yet planned, but expected) and a whole lot of other useful operational uses. After posting the Aerohawk UAV, the team found that stable and agile aircraft pleased the X-Plane users, so the Teknetium is a second aircraft that is built to fly beautifully.
Aircraft characteristics:
STOL: When taking off, it will not take long to lift off the ground. Note that the high angle of attack from the low tail on the ground will force the aircraft to lift into a backflip once off the ground. A simple and easy way to prevent this is to push foward on the stick and level out. Easy.
LEVEL FLIGHT: When flying straight, it will not have any tendencies to lift or drop, it will just fly straight. Take your hand off the stick, and it will fly straight. It is a pleasure to fly.
SIMLE COCKPIT: Easy to read and not full of excess things. A simple autopilot, PFD, engine controls, that is it.
MASSIVE DETAIL: This aircraft is full of smooth and great looking detail that has been crafted by our most prominent 3D modellers. Extending flap struts for the slotted flap, nicely done landing gear, high detail engines, high resolution textures... all included.
INTERESING SHAPE: Always a trademark of the team at 98, this aircraft tests a unique wing shape and excels in the most modern aerospace engineering format.
New management:
The team have reformed into a more organised group, following a halt in production a few months back. We now name a new group leader and are looking for some enthusiastic new employees:
The 98Aerospace team so far:
Nick Kuiper (Clod Slayer): Head of development and main modeller. Hamish Hall-Smith (Hampster): Main texture artist and detail consultant.
If you are interested in a spot in our group, please send us a message via our profile and tell us what you are good at, and we'll acommodate you if you are useful to our operation.
Enjoy your enhanced X-Plane experience.
The team at 98Aerospace.

Baron 58 Cockpit Compass Dressup
By larjeet
This file dresses up the dash mount compass on the Xplane 10 Baron 58. I found that it looked kind of plain and stood out from the rest of the panel.

GROB TUTOR 115E
The Grob 115E is a two seater aircraft used by the RAF as a basic trainer.
Optimized for WIDESCREEN 1920x1080 display (Non-Widescreen monitors users set screen to 1280x1025 to fly from right hand seat as default - use cursor keys to view left hand seat instruments)
------------------------
Wiki - description:
The aircraft is constructed of carbon composite materials. The main fuselage and each wing spar is a single piece. It has a fixed Tricycle undercarriage with spatted wheels, a short nose bearing the 180 hp engine and a 3-bladed variable-pitch propeller. The cockpit features a broad canopy arch with good forward visibility and with side-by-side seating for pilot and student. The wings are tapered with square tips and the empennage consists of a large fin and rudder with an oblong tailplane with square tips mid-set to the fuselage.
----------------------
Download consist of: Highly detailed custom 2D cockpit
Pilot and Student figures
22 Page User Guide - read before flying!
To adjust the screen resolution for non - widescreen users go into the Xplane menu, go to SETTINGS, then RENDERING OPTIONS - and the screens settings are at the top left. Select 1280x1024 and tick the box to the left. .
The right sided pilot instrument panel was to allow potential RAF pilots to become familiar with a left hand throttle that would be essential if they become fast jet pilots. Having the pupil on the left side would mean that the instructor would not be able to reach it. Cadets from the age of 16+ learn to fly in the Tutor and if suitable will move on to the Tucano and then the Hawk where the innstructor sits behind and the throttle is on the left side on both.
