GA-3B Swallow

3,841 rexinn  4.3 years ago

The Swallow is my newest general aviation airplane. It is meant to be a fun airplane to fly around. This is the “B”, or basic model. It has standard steam gauge avionics, no GPS, 2 seats, and the standard paint scheme. This is my 1st model and I plan to build upon it, making a cross country version, a bigger passenger version, a turbo version, etc. All the way up the advanced version.

Startup and Takeoff:
Turn on lights(AG1)
Turn on engine(AG2)
Lower flaps to 1 notch(VTOL)
Once airborne, raise flaps(VTOL) and trim airplane(Trim)
