First shots of the elusive C310 in the wild...

Ready for takeoff at Superspud's EGHC Land's End.

Then off for a quick jaunt across the water to EGHE on the Isles of Scilly.

So far, my initial impressions of this aircraft are very positive. Time to test her out some more. 🙂

Hoot mon! There's a goose loose aboot this hoose! .... O wait, that isn't Scotland nor the JFR-6.... my bad...

Beauty pics! Just did a couple of circuits. Flight dynamics are great - yoke control, roll out, rudder authority, stall characteristics. I will use this aircraft for the Iceland documentary I am preparing! Happy landings!

Works fine for me, do you have the latest version?

I don't know, I purchased it a couple of weeks ago. 

 

PS  I just checked, and I do have the latest version of the GTN 750.

Flight model seems decent. She drops like a rock when you back the power off, so careful throttle management is needed for a smooth landing - keep the power on much later than you would in a typical GA aircraft.

From 2014 to 2019 I was a right seat ride along for about 43 hours in a 310 and I can confirm that is true to the model, especially the greater any angle of crosswind, and a bit more so with a forward CG.  With only the pilot and I on board sports gear went in the rear.

Anyone tried TDS GPS option? Touch screen is not reposing only knobs . I loaded 414 and it works fine!

I'm on TDS 1.0.1.6

Do you also have PMS50 enabled?  I found a time during testing when I had to disable the PMS from my community folder, otherwise the clicks weren't working with TDS.

Yes I do. I didn't know it matters as 414 flies just fine with both units installed in community folder! thanks for letting me know!

We've noticed that on some systems the TDS conflicts with the PMS50, and disabling the PMS then the icons work on the TDS.

We'll look a little more deeply into this in the next few days and if fixable on our end we'll get the fix in for SP1.

Apparently the PMS 750 units should not be in the community folder for the TDS units to respond to key presses - only one response on the Milviz Discord suggests this so far, but I'm mid flight so will try this after landing.

I never did see the DME readout. The stall and spin effects were great, feathering the prop affected the yaw trim ability nicely, sounds were surprisingly good in spin and recovery, nothing to complain of in the nav and radio systems, apparently requires 95 to 110 Kn to land smoothly, rolls straight and true on the asphalt like most Asobo tricycles.

Ah, is there an on off button on it? and have you toggled avionics power on a controller or the aircraft? I don't remember if it connected to my honeycomb, but i know it came on, latest post su9 PMS installed?

Yes, I checked and have the latest update on the GTN. I pressed everything I could see on the GTN thinking that there was some switch on it to turn on the display, and nothing. Acts like it is getting no power, checked circuit breakers, and they are all in. ????

Do not see in any of your posts if you have verified what is selected in the C310's tablet.

Waaah, I haven't found any !
