Hi,Excellent B33 Debonair , Geofa and James thank for this great contribution !!http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/DCForumID47/3679.htmlThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFshttp://fsw.simflight.com/fsw.jpg

Got it! A very smooth air.file which made it real easy to nail smooth even climbs & descents.Did run into "one" slight difficulty (I might as well spit it out :) )I could only get one notch of flaps all the way to touchdown, with out getting the airspeed/flap warning. Other than that, a very smooth flight.L.Adamson

I'll have to check into this-but make sure you are at the right airspeed. 100 mph initially and 90 mph final. Also-on the deb there is no "one notch" -you can only judge flap position by looking out the window in the real plane-it is possible you are going full flaps at too high an airspeed.http://members.telocity.com/~geof43/geofanim2.gif

Hello....I just checked again, & only got "one button" worth of flaps. They'll fully deploy after setting down. BTW--- my RV is the same. 0-40 degrees of elec. flaps & look out the canopy. Plane doesn't yet fly, but at least the flaps work, so I watch them and "fake" flight! :)L.Adamson

Yeah-too bad-on the vc James had going you could see them-but then Gmax decided to eat the whole thing. Maybe we can twist Jame's arm to give it another.... :-lolhttp://members.telocity.com/~geof43/geofanim2.gif

Your building an RV? Man, my uncles friend built one of those.....incredibly cool!! I think he damaged the tail on it on a test flight :-lolhttp://homepages.paradise.net.nz/edenw/fs_banner_je4.jpg Think highly of yourself, for the world takes you at your estimate -Anon

RV6A----- 180HP,CS Prop,sliding canopy

I remember when my next door neighbors was at that stage! Done many loops since then in it-looks like 1 year from completion?!http://members.telocity.com/~geof43/geofanim2.gif

>looks like 1 year from >completion?! >$$$$$$$$$ ?????? :)L.Adamson

Geof,Thanks again for a wonderful plane. And also thanks to James, Michael, Stan for saving it, and Reality xp. You guys are all awesome, and have done a wonderful thing for the community with this aircraft. Thanks for letting me test it as well. I appreciate all the hard work you guys put in. Thanks You. :-)Best Regards,Joe :-wave http://home.attbi.com/~jranos/mysig.jpg http://avsim.com/hangar/air/bfu/logo70.gif

Your beta testing was beyond the call of duty-I can't thank you enough! I am going to gather Jeff S. and w'ell fly down to Joliet-or if you want-a neutral site and then you can verfify first hand how we did- :-lolhttp://members.telocity.com/~geof43/geofanim2.gif

LAdamson,Quick question. I noticed that you have the engine on the airframe. Since your more than a year away from flying it, what do you do to preserve it? Does the manufacturer's recommended pickling routine really prevent rust? Will you have it inspected (looking for rusty/pitted cam and crank) or overhauled prior to the test flights?Just a question that I've often wondered about when I've seen people that are home building.Tim13

You helped us out tremendously by beta-ing it. If it weren't for you, then it might still be sitting on Geof's HD :-)Next time your in NZ, the beers on me!!:-beerchughttp://homepages.paradise.net.nz/edenw/fs_banner_je4.jpg Think highly of yourself, for the world takes you at your estimate -Anon

I'm just on the other side of ORD. I'd love to join you too if I'm free and can snag a plane for a few hours. (What, drive? ;))Ohhh, to have my own plane. ;(8
