Beechcraft-18 with Turboprop and the Tricycle landing gear
THE ORIGINAL: Beechcraft-18 with Radial Engines, 2 bladed props, and tail dragger configuration.
NEW: with Turboprop and the Tricycle landing gear
I have hide the fuselage to show the interior. Just unhide or you can hit the play button to start playing. All tested.
Controls:
- AG -1 to engine start.
(you can also use this to taxi the aircraft on the ground at low speed) - AG-2 Landing lights and cabin lights
- AG-8 Auto pilot on/off
- Flaps down when landing (VTOL negative)
- Engine speed will increase / decrease slowly to resemble the real Aircraft, so turn down the engines early when you approach the airfield.
History:
"The Beechcraft Model 18 (or "Twin Beech", as it is also known) is a 6- to 11-seat, twin-engined, low-wing, tailwheel light aircraft manufactured by the Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas. Continuously produced from 1937 to November 1969 (over 32 years, a world record at the time), over 9,000 were built, making it one of the world's most widely used light aircraft. Sold worldwide as a civilian executive, utility, cargo aircraft, and passenger airliner on tailwheels, nosewheels, skis, or floats, it was also used as a military aircraft."
Wikipedia
Beechcraft-18 was first flown in 1937 and produced until the 1970s. More than 8000 builds and over 200 are still flying in the United States. It came out with radial piston engines but later converted to more efficient turboprop engines of today's standards. Now, you will see the turbo-conversion made by Win's Wings. Also, the old-school tail dragger was replaced with the new nose-wheel tri-cycle landing gear.
This is an enhanced and engine conversion from a radial engines to the turbo props and the landing gear arrangements to the modern tricycle landing gears.
Enhancements.
1) Turboprop conversion
2) Tri-cycle landing gear
3) New cockpit avionics replacement
4) Modification of the nose for the nose wheel
5) Better stability issues
6) All new wings and flaps

@Brayden1981 sure. Please make it as a successor. Thanks.
@WinsWings can I make a fictional livery?
@WinsWings thanQ
@WinsWings Ok
@Escaloplatross did you mean Piasecki H-21 ? I could do it
could you build a Vertol H-21 ?
@Zaineman Thanks buddy, good night
@WinsWings I figured that you would want to be aware of it. Lol Z😺
@Zaineman lol, I didn’t see that
@wins2ings FYI only, the front landing gear, the tire retracts into the cockpit and covers the 2 gauges in the middle, center, lower part of the cockpit. Z🤣
@UssrLENIN this is very stable. Put down the flaps when landing. You got to reduce the engine speed in advance. Landing speed is around 150mph
Wait, better stability issues means...... This has MORE stability problem than predecessor ,wow
@AWACSgoddess
@MrCOPTY thanks
@LITVYAK013INDUSTRIES thanks
@WinsWings damn thanks
Love The Colour
A beautiful design, whenever I find an aircraft that I like, I make the route from the wright airport to the yeager airport, the colors are fantastic, typical of a modern aircraft, or modernized in this case.
LITVYAK INDUSTRIES Approves It.
