The best single frontseat plane

Featured Replies

All my addon planes have a right and left seat. I now wan't a plane with single seat (or tandem).What is the best choice? In what way is the suggestion best. I find a good flightmodel and documentation especially important.I haveAthlon XP 2400+512 M RamATI Radeon Pro 128MWin XPFS2004

Nothing terribly wrong with the default Piper Cub, is there?...Although if it's payware you're looking for, while I don't own it, I've heard good things about the Carenado's Beech T34B Mentor.

The Realair planes are great. The Decathlon and the Scout are single seaters. I'm sure there are more out there that I am not thinking of.

Try Rick Piper's De Havilland Chipmunk (in the Avsim library) or the RealAir Simulations Scout (www.realairsimulations.com). Both are great.

How about the Aeronca L-16 by Kevin Lechmanski (Long Island Classics) here in the AVSIM library, it is a lot of fun.

Hi, my vote would go to the RealAir planes as well - the Scout has flaps and comes in an amphibian version, the Decathlon is an aerobatic plane without flaps with two panel versions. Both have outstanding flight models.The Carenado Mentor is a good plane as well, nobody rivals Carenado

You don't say whether you are looking for the mundane or the exciting..If esoteric aircraft are in the ballpark then you have a endless choice. Spitfire, Mustang, Pitts Special etc etc.If you aren't aiming that high then I'd go along with the other posts and suggest RealAir aircraft for their excellent flight dynamics. The SF260 is a dream..boneshttp://fsaviation.nethttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

Try Steve Grant's Aviat Husky. It's like a Cub on Steroids. Great plane!

I'm normally the first to recommend RealAir's SF260 or Scout however I have been having SO MUCH FUN in Rick Pipers fantastic looking freeware Chipmunk recently that I suggest you download, install then find a grass-strip somewhere pretty and experience flying this super little training aeroplane.

The answer for default planes surely is no.>Although if it's payware you're looking for, while I don't own>it, I've heard good things about the Carenado's Beech T34B>Mentor.So have I and I take it into consideration.
