A plane I don't fly much...

Postby Daube » Sat May 30, 2009 11:35 am

Hi all,

That's right, I rarely fly this plane. I don't really know why. However, I just took her out for a short fly, once again in this place you've seen in my previous screenshots: Maanlichen.

The problem with this place is the ridiculously short slopped runway. I've tryed with turbo props, and piston mono-props, I can land but I'm always too fast (despite being very close to stall) and since it's all dirt or grass, I can never stop in time. The Cub was the right choice. Getting up there from Interlaken took a while, had to do a long circuit around to gain altitude. But this time I could finally manage to land safely :)

Interlaken is so close, and the difference of height is so great, that you can afford to cut off the engine and glide quietly down there on the return route. Just a bit of engine for takeoff, and then, you get the time to take some screenshots :)

Hope you like. This time I tried to get some nice angles of view. The plane model is great just like the colors and the textures, so it was quite easy to get nice-looking angles. Comments and criticism very walecome as usual :)

Those clouds are from FS Skyworld 2004. It's the set Cumulus F set 2. :)
