Flyer

8,997 hardy57  3.3 years ago

The flyer is meant to mimic an “early attempt in aviation”. This means that it is a bit tricky to fly and the Engine has just enough power to keep it in the air. All controls are done mechanically. How to fly: AG1 puts the stand up and down again. AG2 opens the main fuel valve (must be done before takeoff) AG3 opens the reserve fuel valve (after the engine starts to idle there are a few minutes of fuel left.) Brake slows the plane down when rolling. BTW: Switching the HUD of makes flying much more interesting…
