Meet GRRAVEL, Monster Truck in the Skies

Paying homage to Mike Patey’s “Scrappy”. No one in the aviation industry is more inspirational than this man.

  • 230HP 2.5L V6 “Ford Mustang” engine, adapted for use in a cub
  • 35" Alaskan Bushwheels
  • Massive 7 Foot prop
  • 2 x 27 Gallon tanks to feed the thirsty V6
  • Reinforced structure, higher MTOW
  • 100lbs heavier than the standard Savage Carbon
  • Comfortably cruises at 130kts, punch it to hit 150
  • Sustained climb rate of 4000fpm

Hey, do you think we should look at "folding wing tips"?  I kinda look out of place here. 🙃 😁

Hehe....I think the whole wing should fold back along the fuse like the E-2, or back in WWII...the TBM Avenger. 🙂   That was some engineering magic there... making the mechanism that did that reliably! 😲

I hope you add the AP functions as an option.  I can fly cross country at 130 - 150 kts. 🙃🤪

Will probably climb like an elevator.  Might need my noise cancelling Bose headset for this one though. Good to hear from you.

The GotGravel Savage Carbon Cub, predecessor, or companion to this, has the ability to use keyboard function AP Altitude & Heading hold.

It works well, sits rock steady on altitude & heading.

See AP set up tip in listing below:

https://flightsim.to/file/3723/savage-carbon-stol-realism-mod

I imagine the same AP functionality will go into this one as there is a demand for it & the designer, (GotGravel), is responsive to reasonable requests.

The GotGravel Artic Paint Savage Carbon is my goto low and slow plane.  I use the AP functions most every day.

@raymar Ray- on good authority the AP will be similar to the one in the GGCC... this one is more like a 60's Muscle Car, whilst the Carbon Cub is more like an 80's Lotus Turbo Esprit... making more with less.

In the good ole' USA we say,  "There's no substitute for cubic inches!"  🙂

Thanks C, that is good news on the AP. I am kinda lazy in my old age and tend to prefer looking around the countryside and I am flying along. I wonder if this new Muscle Car version could possible have a floats version one day.  If not, maybe we can get some of that helium in those big tires and make them float a bit.

These tires will float, but the rest is really waiting for Asobo.  There are so many basic things that are still not implemented in the AIR file... hopefully the updates will continue and these two birds will eventually become everything they can be.  They are already very good, and will keep getting better as @GotGravel gets the tools he needs.

Looking forward to some more testing tomorrow... BIG BLOCK style 🙂

The Savage Grravel is getting ready, just added a little detail to the cowling. Chrome Mustang logo and some engine specs.
