IMPORTANT ! Before you fly this aircraft,
you must read the manual instructions below :

DHC-6-300 ETu+

ETu+ (New Engine Tune Up +, to fly fast)

This aircraft is modified from AEROTECHINDUSTRIES / @TristanSuper24 DHC-6-300 Twin Otter.

My modified airplane the controls are not that tame. So, have to gently fly it.

Manual instructions:

  • AG 1 = Landing Lights and Taxi Lights.
  • AG 2 = Strobe Lights.
  • AG 3 = NAV Lights.
  • AG 4 = Beacon Lights.
  • AG 5 = Activate Steering Wheel on ground.
  • AG 6 = Aresting Hook.
  • AG 7 = Logo Lights.

Controls :

  • VTOL = Flaps. To use, slide it down.
  • Yaw = Rudder and steering wheel.
  • Roll = Roll.
  • Trim = Trim.
  • Pitch = Pitch.
  • Throttle = Throttle.
  • Brake = Brakes.

Taxi

To taxi, activate steering wheel with AG 5, because if it is not activated, the plane cannot turn at slow speed. The throttle is just 1%.

Take Off and Cruising

For take off, use flaps 1/2 down, trim 0, deactivate the steering wheel using AG 5 Again, because in high speed on the ground, we are no need to turn right or left too much.
Throttle just 18%, Vr at 140 knots. At, 230 knots, raise the flaps. After exceeding the height of 10,000 feets, you can raise the throttle again as you wish.
The speed can be up to Mach 2, don't forget to play the trim, because the faster it is, the more the plane is pointing up.

Landing

For landing, use flaps full, manual flight, and touchdown at 145 knots. Brakes gently. Don't use brake so hard. Activate steering wheel using AG 5 in 30 knots.

Night View

IMPORTANT! This plane is pretty wasteful
of fuel!
