LUFTEINHALT sieben - Bushplane
Enter the LUFTEINHALT SIEBEN Bushplane.
A small but powerful exploration plane, suited for all kinds of aerial adventures.
Due to its unique STOL Mode, it is capable of instant takeoffs.
Requiring no runway at all to take off and only very little to land.
FEATURES:
- STOL Mode for instant-takeoffs and extreme short landings
- Switch to select which Pilot Seat has control
- Exploration equipment
- Cargo/Passenger space in the rear
- Altitude Hold
TECH SPECS:
Fuel: 1400 L
Range: ~110 km
Top Speed: 160 Knots
Weight: 1974
Cost: 22615 $
2 Pilot Seats
2 Front Passenger Seats
6 Rear Passenger Seats
Suspended Front Landing Gears
STOL Mode
Flaps
INSTANT TAKEOFF MANUAL:
1) Start the engine and release the park brake
2) Engage the „STOL Mode“-switch for the propellers to pitch upwards
3) When you’re ready for takeoff, increase „Throttle“ to maximum
4) As soon as the RPS hit maximum, switch on „Thrust“
5) CAUTION! After approximately 2 seconds in the air, the aircraft will start to tilt backwards.
Instantly disengage „STOL Mode“ and reduce „Throttle“ to about 50%
Congratulations, you are airborne!
You can also (as the name suggests) use the „STOL Mode“ for landings.
When engaged while landing, you will profit from significantly lower airspeed and increased maneuverability.
Can also be combined with "Flaps".
One last tip:
If the propellers are still rotating, duck while exiting the pilot seats ;)
________________________________
I am currently working on the second generation of this model.
There will be the standard bushplane, an arctic version and possibly a seaplane.
Comment, if you'd like to see any specific features!
