Roush R-1 Fairfield

582 RoushSystems  7 days ago

The debut civillian model by Roush Systems, a twin-engine multipurpose light aircraft. Its affordability, versatility and ease of flying make them very popular with flight schools, air-taxis, and many other civilian aviators.

The Fairfield has seats for a pilot, copilot, and a rear bench for 1-2 passengers. The cockpit features a full suite of gauges, and switch panels complete with indicators. Nothing I put in there is decorative, it's simple but it all has a purpose. Lights are present around the exterior as well as in the cabin.

The aircraft has long range owing to good aerodynamics and use of propellers, as well as docile flight characteristics, making it a good choice for all-weather trips across the archipelago.

Thank you for reading. HAVE A SAFE FLIGHT!
