simbabeat Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 While taking a break from Mooney painting, I flew the air.c74.net Piper Saratoga from KGCN-KFLG (Grand Canyon to Flagstaff) I took in some nice Grand Canyon Scenery on the way out and saw the ugly x-plane version of a city on the way down to a perfect ILS landing at Flagstaff. I enjoyed the Saratoga so much that I think I'm going to go get Carenado's! 1 Quote
oregonboy109 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 Just bought the Q400 because of the 25% off sale.BEST PAYWARE AIRCRAFT IVE EVER BOUGHT!! Great job FJS Quote
simbabeat Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 Uh, not sure about this. It's not going to replace the BK in my daily routine, but buying it seemed like a good idea at the time.Typical Jason Chandler plane buying response. By the way Nicola, you may not be able to start painting liveries for the BX like you do with the BK. I was about to release a livery for a Jason Piper and the terms and conditions said no liveries. A response from him is still waiting.Simon Quote

woweezowee Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Did fly with an old Broussard today, great flight! Edited August 22, 2011 by woweezowee Quote
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 @ Airbus, didn't think it was that special that you were at 270. Then I saw the picture and that it was a single engine prop. 1 Quote
Toryu Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Looks more like a Lancair Legacy to me Quote
falloutgamer65 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 flew all these planes today lol https://picasaweb.google.com/109336807748538027688/XPlane?authkey=Gv1sRgCJz25oW775-KZQ Quote

HPM Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Flew my latest design, a staggered seating two seat, electric flying wing with a power train courtesy of Tesla motors. It uses Tesla's already existing battery tech, including a computer controlled battery heater/cooler system, and weighs in empty at 1100 lbs. including 500 lbs of battery/speed controller and temperature control. A bit on the heavy side, but definitely liftable with 150 hp. I get about a two hour flight time at half throttle, cruising about 140 kts. No intentions of doing a blender job on this one - I'm going straight to an RC model as a proof of concept for a real one I figure that in 10-15 years when I get that far, batteries will have gotten a lot better, and I'll be getting pretty good flight times Edited August 26, 2011 by HPM Quote
amerrir Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Nice screenshot, Will. Thanks!Another Duchess paint I've been working on - this time based on a real aircraft livery: 1 Quote
Goran_M Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 I love that last one, Will!Very nice! Quote
woweezowee Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 Until now been flying the CRJ for 45 hours and 11 minutes. That's pretty much for a usually non-jet/heavy guy like me . Quote
