Hey all,


Is anyone here a Robin DR400 pilot, 180 series preferably?

I have some questions on the controls, such as fuel selector, a certain knob, etc.

I have 66 h on a Robin DR400/180 Regent. It was my third plane I learnt on (first was a C150, second a DR400/180R Remorqueur).
Last flight was 2 years ago though. Maybe I can help you.

Will help with pleasure as I have some hours on this plane, even if it is long time ago.

It's very interesting aircraft, I especially like the cranked wing design. Aerosoft is working on DR400-140B variant at the moment.

Hey YoYo,

Yes.


CLB and Vora, I have sent you IM's.

Many thanks for your input.

I cant figure out a couple of the controls down in the center section of the cockpit; fuel selector, flaps control direction, and a knob by the trim indicator.

I flew one in France a few years ago, out of Chevenay, but I'm pretty sure it's too long ago to be any use to you!

Hello

I'm a pilot of a Regent DR400-180 and fly also on /140/120. I know also very well the chief pilot/instructor at the aeroclub who knows it deeply. If we can help....
If it's your next project we're very interested !!!!!
