Stall speed: 0-20 mph (Not recommended because these planes have stuff like slats and ridiculous flaps and VGs that help them fly extremely slowly and the only way to get this slow in SP is to make the plane have a ridiculously low win load and that makes it fly really terribly, like it’s on rails, which is not good.)
Max speed: 50-70 mph
Weight: 550-750 lbs
Takeoff/landing distance: 5 to 50 feet
Wing load: plz don’t make one of these. They don’t work. You will have to make it sub 1lb/ft2 to get it to go slow enough
If you didn’t get it, just don’t make these in SP. There are no slats or triple slotted flaps or VGs in SP. Yours won’t fly right. It will feel crap. Believe me.
Cub sized plane (bush class)
Stall speed: between 0 and 40 mph (aim for around 35mph. This seems to be the sweet spot for bush planes)
Max speed: between 90 and 150 mph (more radical and draggy landing gear and engine power effects speed)
Weight: 750-1300 lbs
Take off/landing p distance: around 120 feet you should be aiming for. If you have a tail dragger, when you’re slowing down, the brakes should be about as powerful as it takes for the plane to balance on the main gear.
Wing load: 3-7 lbs/ft2. Just make your wings a realistic size and shape (usually the span is a little less than 1.5x the length of the aircraft)
Climb rate: 1000-2500 ft/min
If you wanna make a traditional STOL aircraft, just build one of these. They’re pretty fun. Also there’s quite a lot of variation in performance in these planes because a lot of people modify them in their own way.
Tourer (Like the Cessna 185)
Long story short, make it perform a regular GA plane, but give it the ability to fly a little slower (stall speed around 50mph). Also storage space is important with these planes because they’re made to hau
Seeing that you were going only 37 mph, I can only imagine how fun it would be to use this thing for extremely difficult landings, what exactly is the takeoff and landing distance? (The distance it takes to takeoff and land)
Yeah. A plane like this should be able to do more than this using slats and vortex generators. Doing this with traditional nothing-special wings in SP is quite a feat @QingyuZhou
Next year. There won’t be too many more.
Maaan I wish I was at Reno. :( @Tacocat16
And then Draco in the pattern later that evening
Yessssssssssss I saw that airplane at Reno in that spot like a day after that was taken
Yeah it’s at Reno and I totally stole it from Trent’s Instagram lol @Tacocat16
I was just at Reno and that looks exactly like where trent’s kitfox is parked
Hey... that profile pic... where was it taken?
Recommendations for turning rate on a cub type? (How many seconds for a 360
Turn) @jamesPLANESii @BogdanX
l loads of stuff into the backcountry.
Yeah, hopefully you know how a GA plane should fly. Lol.
Also my comment was just a tad too long lol. That’s literally all that was on the end of that comment XD @QingyuZhou
Basically a bush plane is that plane that:
Performance recommendations:
Purely made for pure STOL like Lil’ Cub:

Interesting. I might build my very first bush plane some time... any suggestions?

No one will probably get this but...He must be drinking Lord Vertice Lemonade.

Yes, it’s very easy in a well balanced Bush plane. High Critical AoA = low stall speed @QingyuZhou
Flying a bush plane with high angle of attack @jamesPLANESii
Saturday 10am NZST which is Friday afternoon / evening in the US @Viper3000ad
Cool, when are you going to upload it?
What work irl? @QingyuZhou
Does it work irl?
XD @AerialFighterSnakes @KerlonceauxIndustries
It’s a conspiracy!!!
Manoeuvrability is actually pretty realistic :) @Thelegitpilot13

Noice!
