Pocket Rocket base airframe

Hi,

 

I'm wondering what is the base aircraft model for the PR? The real aircraft is a heavily modified Impulse 100 - though even that one doesn't have even close to the performance specifications of the Torquesim modelled version.

 

Is this basically a 'What would Mike Patey do if he owned an Impulse 100' aircraft? As far as I can find, I can't see any real examples of Impulse 100s with PT-6s.

 

Thanks,

Haha, thought so! Thanks


Out of interest, is it just me or is this model a bit larger than the Impulse 100 too?


I guess Mike is fond of adding more and more carbon fibre to his planes! :D

With the exception of the cowling, I believe the airframe is the same.

Great to hear - you may have seen my discussion with Coop regarding the pt6a-28's performance - will you be editing the engine to more real world figures? It's great fun at default but somewhat overpowered!

I spent some time in plane maker and got it pretty darned close, but you guys do stuff in the background that massage it a little - ITT is a bit on the low side too.
