Introducing the Avia 51

[Jozef Košík]

Hello Jozef :-)

Thanks for the request. I have 11-12 aircraft in progress and do not take requests. Hopefully something we have produced or are producing will satisfy some FS urge.

Hello Milton. Thanks for the explanation. Yet I sent to Mr. John Smith, e-mail a good drawing, a few photos and a link to several web sites on the Aero 45-145 for at least interesting of which is a plane or in his or your archive if you ever thought about the future Aero create 45 to FSX.

Thanks to all who made this plane! I just lost in time while i was watching how light plays on propeller blades when i changed pitch.

Ambled over to Sumperk in the Czech Republic, bit chilly for my Avia 4.
I know... cosset the passengers in a lovely tri-motor!

And lovely it is too very well done chaps, just a splendid play in the snow, and one for the scrapbook.



Flaps? who needs 'em. You switch off a couple of motors and pootle in at 94 kts.
Also lets you do that Shupe "cut the fuel and feather the prop thing"
It even taxies nicely with a singleton pulling.

LOL Glad you noticed

Just do what one did before every aerial conveyance came with flaps. Slips are not for crosswinds only. In particular the so called Forward Slip is what one uses to increase the descent rate without increasing the airspeed. By exposing the side of the fuselage to the airstream and effectively changing the airfoil of the wing temporarily (because at least one of them is at least partially blocked from that normal airstream) you get down fast and controlled without any speed increase.

Provided there is no crosswind to take into account most pilots will swing the nose right and then stay on the center line using the ailerons. This way they do not have to look over as much of the panel to see the runway and in most US registered airplanes the right turning prop adds a little extra help to get re-aligned just before touching down.

Do the wonderful airplane justice by learning to fly it like a pro...after all it was built by a bunch of pros.

I'm having fun too! Great work guys.

You wouldn't think animated persons would make such a difference, but they do!
Mademoiselle is wondering when they will shut the darn door and get the draft off her neck



Ahh, there! It will take somewhat longer to get to champagne-pouring cruise height, than with two more rotators, but the journey will be much, much shortened once there.



As to sideslipping this lovely craft: please remember there is delicate cargo aboard!
You would not contemplate bruising a soft shoulder by tipping her over... no, set up from far away and waft in for a perfect three-pointer, 65 KIAS.

[Milton Shupe]

LOL Great shots and great banter. Love it!

Oh BTW, the passengers and pilots were donated by "Lionheart". He is the man.

I have a rather simple question that applies to both planes. Why are the red and green nav lights on the tail but nothing on the wingtips. The lenses are modeled so I assume it's an oversight. I moved mine to the wings, changed the tail to white, and added a landing light beam. If I am wrong please say so and I will put it back as it was.

[Milton Shupe]

Hi Terry; thanks for asking.

The wing lights are are modeled in gmax and they are there, albeit faintly, at least on my rig.

The lights on the tail, I can not tell you what they should be. I have pictures that show them on either side of the vtail with dark lens, and no specific info to describe them. But feel free to change them as you wish and ... enjoy. :-)

Milton & Co,

Thank you guys so much for these great little gems! They are awesome and I'm sure I'll spend many hours with them.


Cheers,

Thank you Maarten for hanging in here with us during development; we appreciate the support. The team had lots of fun doing the Avias, so much so, we are extending the efforts to ... two other Robert Nebesar designs of the period.

i guess that makes us the Nebesar-my

Whiskey Zulu: that's really outstanding scenery - a delightful setting for AVIAtion.

Thanks for sharing.

It looks like I could use a few flying lessons from you and Sunny9850 too. Nice techniques fellas!
