Beechcraft 18 from the Scene in the James Bond film, Octopussy from 1983
This is my replica of the Beechcraft Model 18, one of the iconic American heritage, with over 9000 built. I have made the size, speed, and instruments as close as possible. Although it is a replica, it is an easy-flying plane. I enjoyed flying it. I tried to make the size similar to the original, but it is about nearly 3 feet (or 1 meter) larger overall, since it is hard to manage the blueprint.
Features:
- Realistic smoke from the exhausts
- custom landing gear, and the doors
- six seating interior
- Flaps down (VTOL Down) while landing for more stability
- Top speed 250 mph
Avionics from the 1940s
2 Bladed prop with a radial (piston) engine
Realistic exhaust smoke
Flaps down (control by VTOL)
History:
"The Beechcraft Model 18 (or "Twin Beech", as it is also known) is a 6- to 11-seat, twin-engined, low-wing, tailwheel light aircraft manufactured by the Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas. Continuously produced from 1937 to November 1969 (over 32 years, a world record at the time), over 9,000 were built, making it one of the world's most widely used light aircraft. Sold worldwide as a civilian executive, utility, cargo aircraft, and passenger airliner on tailwheels, nosewheels, skis, or floats, it was also used as a military aircraft."

@Bobobobob Lol, I hope it remains a fairly rare event in real life !
@Bobobobob Lol...
@SilverStar honestly just makes for a more realistic flight unexpectedly losing a wheel which is possible in real life
@WinsWings Np
Thanks @Neruneten21
@rongus probably a glitch or something
@Hannyboy What??
@rongus weird bug you pinged me 💀
i swear it says "@rongus pinged you in beechcraft-18" no cap
@WinsWings oh
@rongus He trashes me while I was in a conversation with another user, without even knowing me. I want to be friendly to everyone and block no one.
why did you block phrongus?
@GabrielFangster70 it will be great if you could build it to match what the real one.
@WinsWings also, the windows And the interior don’t accurately match the real thing
@99807 eu fiz um beech 18 com a pintura Matt Youkin olhe no meu perfil *ele não tem trilha de fumaça!
@Partydowg thanks so much
Ay bro props to u😉all jokes aside u actually did a really good job with this and it the beech-18 is one of my favorite aircraft
@99807 Thank you for your comment. I am glad that you like it. I have to build a float plane variant of this Beechcraft-18, which can land and take off very nicely from water. I will tag you if you want
THANK YOU SO MUCH i’ve been waiting years for someone to make a good Beech 18 so I can fly it around like Matt Younkin’s version and now I finally can :)
@DashEight Thank you! my pleasure to join.
@SilverStar i see. Thanks
@WinsWings I think that wheels touch the LG doors at high G force
@alexJgameYTukraine thank you
@SilverStar thanks for the feedback. I will look into it, but it didn’t happened to me before.
