RP-C8473

The Sierra Madre is PADC's entry into the business aviation market. It seats 8 passengers (plus 2 pilots), or 4 passengers in an executive layout.

Though overkill for its size, it is equipped with Fowler flaps and spoilers. It is also fly by wire, and the control surfaces are hydraulically actuated. It also has semi autopilot. It can stay airborne for 5 hours on cruise.

Builder's note: This was actually built before the Kampilan, and it has been my testbed for autolevel.
