Politechnika Warszawska PW-6U

690 Mitann  2.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on BeeEngineer's Trainer Challenge (Closed)

PW-6 was developed by Politechnika Warszawska.
It is a training glider with the same characteristics and performance as the PW-5, allowing a quick transition to the PW-5.

Functions
AG1: release knob (knob action only)
AG5: front canopy open
AG6: Rear canopy open
AG7: Front canopy eject
AG8: Auto rudder
VTOL: Spoiler

Performance
Maximum glide ratio:25
Rate of sink:0.75 m/s (147 ft/min)

Cruise
Minimum sink speed:65 km/h (36 kts,40 mph)
Maximum glide ratio speed:75 km/h (42 kts,47 mph)
Flies at 80 km/h in trim neutral

Spin Training
When spin training, add 100lb ballast to the rearmost fuselage. When entering a flat spin, open the spoiler fully and elevator full down to return to normal spin and then stop the spin with the top rudder.

    @Mitann Ok, your score has been changed a bit.

    @BeeEngineer Why dose it spin? Because glider pilots need spin training. During thermal soaring, the glider tries to fly as slowly as possible to gain altitude more efficiently. Flying slowly means that it is easier to get into a spin. This glider will not go into spin under normal conditions, but when it transitions to another glider, it may be more likely to go into spin. For this reason. Spin training on a dual seat trainer is important.
