Turning the Carenado 152 into an Aerobat??

[flyingip]

I was just wondering, there are so much cool repaints for the Carenado Cessna 152 model which represent the aerobat version, but then if you try to pull a loop you find out you can't. Which is a bit an anti-climax.
Has anyone tried modifying the flight dynamics to make it a bit more "sporty"? I'm not sure about all the differences between the standard and aerobat versions only that the aerobat airframe has been approved for aerobatics.

hello
can you try changing the value
increasing

in aircrfat cfg
section: powerscalar=1
powerscalar=1'2 (example) and successive

Lets see. The 152A initially had a Lycoming O-235-L2C putting out 110hp at about 2500rpm,115hp at 2700, then about 82-83 a O-235-N2C rated at 108hp at about the same revs, Beefier engine mount truss, . Umm. Quick jettison doors-a big ring with cable pulls to quick pins in the hinges, 4 point harnesses, removeable seat cushions so you could sit on your parachute, skylights, +6/-3 G's rated airframe through use of heavier gauge carry throughs, spar webs, some frames, and firewall, and funky checkerboard paint. The 152's I've mucked about with had a aerobatic artificial horizon in, don't know if that was standard. Weights for a standard Aerobat were with in a couple of pounds of a standard 152. It can be induced to perform basic aerobatics and spinning, but its not a real spunky aerobatic machine powerwise. Most maneouvers are started from a moderate decending entry. You had to work a bit and manage the airspeed, but they're a treat to throw around the sky. It really isn't a whole lot different from a standard 152, not even any more power, so the changes to the flight model should be essentally zero. Change the G limits so you don't set off crash detection if you use it.
Hope that helps a bit for general charateristics.

I did a little Mod for mine that works really well. You have to swop the air file out of the Defalt 172, name it SingleEngineProp,air , and make these changes to your Aircraft CFG file "see below", This will give you the HP to do your loup and run like a 125 hp sparrowhawk conv., you will have to use your aircraft list in the CFG to get the planes you want to show up in sim, "make sure to back up all the org",!!!
She will do about 120 kn at 3,000 ft, nose it down till about 160 then start your loup.

Any way of making the door pop open on take off...just like the real deal? ;p

Thank you very much for the tips guys. I found out that Aerobats have a higher VNO. (126 kts instead of the standard 105 kts) With a small airspeed indicator change I can now dive and reach 126 kts without overstressing the airframe in my pull! The only thing that misses is a realistic stall behavior.

I`ve a virtual SkyCatch kit for any one thats having problems with door latches
Buy the way, if you haven`t tried it out yet, Piglets PT-19 is one of the nicest models for aerobatics out there!
And there is a freeware native 152 from Just Flight on their webpage. Or was it a 150? Not a bunch of difference, anyway- soundproofing(a vauge hope) rattle control and trim bits:mixedsmi:

Been there, done that -- How about the pilot's seat sliding back just before take-off ? Also - been there, done that.

There's a guy here who has one, and it's a sweet little performer. Don't think I'd want to go x-country in it with a passenger, but by yourself it would be great.

And if you got bored you could just do a couple loops and rolls en-route.

I've had the door pop open on landing, which is probably not as disconcerting because, well, hell.....I'm there!
