Air Donkey Inst

8,002 hardy57  2.9 years ago

Airdonkey is a slow flying plane. "“Pilots refer to it as the ugly donkling but like it because it is very good natured."” It has self made instruments that follow ABSOLUTELY NO STANDARD but which allow you to fly without the HUD. All the necessary controls are also on board. Airdonky can be flown like any other plane. F5 gives you a good cockpit view. VTOL for flaps, TRIM for trim, no retractable gear. Throttle to zero and flaps fully down allows for an extremely short landing distance.

    @Sergio666 Hi! I am glad you like it! Use or modify the instruments anyway you like.
    At the moment I am experimenting in making instruments from beacon lights, then they glow in the dark, but it can take some time before i get something done.
    When choosing the rotator inside the instrument (which can be a bit tricky) you can see the formula used in overload. Greetings ...

    Friend, your interiors are incredible, I'll tell you @ Firgreen, the truth is, I've never seen such functional interiors, I've been with the idea of moving the speed needles for a long time, and you've solved it for me, you're a genius !!! permission to adapt some to my planes, and I would also like to build a plane with you, a greeting and a very good job @hardy57
