Nice! Just keep thinking Pratt&Whitney and the lawnmower will be history!

March 9, 20224 yr An interesting article and a good read. https://www.pilotweb.aero/news/beech-17s-staggerwing-6288008 Note the comments about running tanks dry and the difficulties landing in a crosswind seem to ring true for the Carenado version as well. The 1943 US Military POH simply states "Crosswind landings - Avoid crosswind landings whenever practicable": https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/attachments/beech-c17-c-43-staggerwing-pdf.214350/ Edited March 9, 20224 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick
March 12, 20224 yr Thanks for the owners report. Informative an a good laugh. "Coarsening the pitch control slightly after power checks spares any spectators the unpleasant rasping sound of the propeller tips going supersonic, plus more of your fuel will turn into thrust rather than noise." etc. http://dc2-fs.com Dutch National Aviation Theme Park and Museum.

March 12, 20224 yr Beautiful flight demonstration in this video. You can catch glimpses of the rudder authority on takeoff and an absolutely beautiful landing. Latest video at The Flight Level Flight Over Frozen Lake Erie - Between Ice and Clouds - Ultimate Solitude - The Perfect Memory
March 13, 20224 yr Nice video and agree a nice landing. It was fairly obvious there is something loose in the landing gear doors and it can be seen flapping at 2.43-2.53. and is obvious in a number of other places including 6.53. 😟. I'm sure after they saw this video, they had that fixed right up. 😉 Cheers Terry No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea. Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower!

March 26, 20224 yr I had to uninstall the Staggerwing temporarily because of the MSFS distant engine sounds bug. Even with other aircraft sounds set to zero I could still hear the D17 from several miles away like it was sitting next to me. https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/questions/5584/su8-beta-sound-volume-bug.html
March 27, 20224 yr Late to the party, but nice airplane. I will agree that the lack of any need for rudder is odd in a powerful radial engine. Also, feels a bit like its on rails... but it trims up real nice for a hands off cruise experience. Sounds great, nice and a fast... for the money I am not complaining.
