Blohm und Voss P.194-02

45.5k Sgtk  7.6 years ago

My entry for @BogdanX and his Bizarre Challenge. The BV-P.194-02 was an experimental mixed-power ground-attack aircraft, utilizing both a propeller and turbojet engine in an asymmetric format. The .02 was equipped with 4 cannons in the nose; Two 30mm and two 20mm variants. It was also equipped with a bombload for ground targets. Although some models have bombay doors, they were removed from this one to accomodate a larger bombload. **Take-off Instructions** I will probably lose points for this category, but the asymmetric layout and different spool rates for prop-vs-jet rates makes takeoff a bit tricky. Put the rudder hard to port for the duration of takeoff. Add a bit of trim to prevent the nose from pointing down. Only throttle to 35% or so until airborne. Once up, use trim to level flight. WIll also help stop roll caused by prop. Also, once airborne, throttle up at your leisure. Thank you for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!

    @BogdanX Thank you!! Yours looks superb as well. I had quite a few adjustments to make in regards to the engines and their power levels to not make one push the other and the plane into the spin. Overall, I'm happy with it.
