JLX Skyventure-250

1,720 Davjlee  5.4 years ago

Another work in progress, the Skyventure-250 is the next GA model that I have been working on. AG8 turns on or off the Nav lights and AG4 turns on the dome light in the cabin. This GA aircraft seats two people, a pilot and one passenger to the rear. The control yoke moves with the steering and will rotate according to roll, and pull back for pitch up. I am still trying to work a push for pitch down but haven't figured it out yet. Slightly more powerful than the Skyventure-150, the 250 is still a comfortable plane for GA purposes. Lastly, currently the VTOL only controls the doors to either side of the rear portion of the cabin. I will continue to work on this model as well as the other GA models for a full final release. :)

    @AtlasSP @Spearhead I just spent some time landing over and over again. Needless to say, some, not all, landings resulted in a damaged prop. The trick is not to reduce power to quickly, leaving the aircraft able to pitch up at touchdown. Of course, trim alone does little to aid in flaring, so I'm going to try and add some flaps to the model and see if it helps get a perfect landing record. At least half of my landings resulted in a damaged prop :)

    @CRJ900Pilot Awesome! Definitely try to stay as simple as possible with any GA and Ultralight that I build to keep things easy to fly. As I continue through flight school, I'm finding a renewed interest in GA aircraft and love the opportunity to create in SP. Thanks for the support and feedback. :)

    @Spearhead thanks! I'll reduce the diameter a bit. Sounds like this is the primary issue so far. Thanks for the support and feedback. :)

    @AtlasSP thanks for the comment. I'll reduce the diameter of the blades as I continue editing the model. I always appreciate feedback and will definitely do whatever is necessary to get the best result possible with a given model. :)

    @Spearhead I could land this plane quote easily even though I broke the propeller 3 times
