Hey, Dallas, I still have not had time to evaluate the handling
characteristics of this aircraft due to my RL traveling schedule. I
have been traveling (flying the Bo) during the week and that leaves
little time for myself when getting home.
So far, my observations have been limited to the cockpit,
instrumentation, and overall look of the aircraft, which I shared a
couple of weeks ago. Let me see if I can make some time to take a
flight in the aircraft for you this weekend and let you know of the
characteristics.
Have you been flying the Bonanza at all? What are your impressions?
Here are some things you can check:
1) Slow to 150kts or in level flight, then drop the gear and lower the
nose about 3 degrees. The aircraft should slow to about 120 kts with a
500 fpm descent.
2) One a standard day (59 degrees F) at sea level, you should see about
a 700-1000 fpm climbout at 110 kts, depending on load. What is the
delivered load weight for this aircraft? Full fuel, luggage, and
passengers? Or only the pilot with full fuel? I haven't yet looked at
the cfg file to see the loaded weight set by Dreamfleet.
3) At level cruise, lower the nose about 2 degrees and reduce power to
24 inches and 2400 RPMs. This should give you 500fpm descent and an
airspeed right at the top of the green arc (175kts or so).
> PS How's the new kid?
LOL! Taking my time away from the sim, as are my other two boys, but I
am not complaining one bit.
Before I know it, they will all be
teenagers and want none of my time.
Best,
