Solent S-1 LN-YHR

852 Solent19  3 months ago

The Solent S-1 is a (fictional) norwegian-built ultralight STOL (short takeoff and landing) aircraft, designed to serve even the most remote locations, with space for two people. it might not be super pretty, but very functional and extremely fun to fly, considering it can land on only around 15-20 meters, and take off in about 50-60. It is extraordinarely maneouverable (i might have spelled these wrong), it can do a full vertical loop in less than 100 meters of altitude difference, without coming close to a stall. It does have a strong nose up- tendency, but that's not something that can't be dealt with using Trim and/or manual input. The handling may take a bit of getting used to, but you'll figure it out soon enough. IMPORTANT: don't use the rudder during takeoff, it will be fine if you just pull fully back until you're airborne, and don't overcorrect afterwards.(it's really pitch sensitive)
