Solent SJ-140 "Skyliner"

Solent SJ-140 «Skyliner»

first of all don't ask how i got that name...
The SJ-140 Skyliner is the second one of the Solent SJ- series of private jets, having space for 7 passengers and two pilots. It features


Automatics

yaw damper (works well but can bug out, in which case just restart AG8
Stall protection (pushes the nose down below about 140 km/h (76 knots)
all of them can be switched off with AG8
also, no variables here!


VR

idk if it actually works with VR, I've just followed all the curation criteria I could


Design

it has canards, obviously
The main inspiration for the SJ-140 was probably this
what else can I say?
this?
No that's probably a wee bit off topic...


parts I «borrowed» from other planes

The PFD is from @GuianLorenzo's LearJet 75
The Wings are a modified version of @AGSR1AEROSPACE's Gulfstream G650ER


how to fly

takeoff:
trim all the way back, throttle to 100 and pull back fully above 140 km/h (76 knots)
as soon as you reach 250 km/h (135 knots), you can reduce the throttle to 70-85 and continue climbing, keeping the speed steady

landing:
trim all the way back once again, approach speed around 210 km/h (113 knots), landing speed about 190 km/h (103 knots)


Additional notes

  • if you want a custom livery just ask for it in the comments.
  • if the plane starts oscillating left and right on its own, just turn off and on again AG8 or the switch labelled «automatics» in the glare shield
  • I spent way too long on the engine code
  • I use a Logitech flight yoke so if it flies a bit awkwardly on keyboard just let me now and I'll try fixing it

"it flies backwards!"

    @DatFiat126Fan19 but to be honest I don't really care, so what I'm building now is the Solent S-126
