Druine Turbulent

File Description:
A 'generic' Turbulent, representing no particular aircraft, this is a relatively basic AF99 model, (no animations), dusted down and re-polished for FS2004, and fitted out with a custom set of xml gauges on an aluminium panel. This is definitely an aircraft to be sat in and flown, not examined in detail from the outside, the features just aren't there. An old favourite of mine, first designed "way back when" in A&AF for FS4, now dragged back out of the hanger and used as an ideal "lo & slo" aircraft with photographic VFR scenery and/or a good terrain package, the small panel allowing a much better view in flight than many other aircraft. With a cruise speed of 80kts you'll not be in a hurry to get anywhere, but with a landing speed of around 30kts and a take-off roll of "not a lot" you can operate into and out of any farmstrip. These slow speeds, combined with the relatively good visibility from the cockpit, also make this an ideal aircraft for "tailwheel conversion" ... great if you have problems landing the Extra 300 or possibly even the Cub.
