1946 LUSCOMBE 8A SILVAIRE

Postby Fly2e » Wed Aug 11, 2010 9:39 pm


The Luscombe 8 Silvaire was a highly successful two seat high wing light aircraft built in the years surrounding World War 2.
The Model 8 used the new horizontally-opposed small engines that had just been developed by the engine manufacturers.
For simplicity, the aircraft was designed with a round firewall to minimize frontal area and simplify construction.
Although it was alleged this might allow the installation of a small radial engine if the flat four did not work,
none of the original design engineers recall that being a design consideration. Today it remains popular as
a classic aircraft. This beautifully restored 8A is often seen at air shows around the country.

If the plane wasn't so shiny and fake looking, I would say those screenshots were real!  :o :o

[color=#000000]I like shiny. Those are the best looking Luscombe shots I have ever seen.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Very nice realism in these shots. I love the scenery in the 2nd shot.

Very nice as always.
