| Canard/Pusher |
|
File Description:
This is my first attempt at building an aircraft. It is a canard pusher with 550 hp turbine, 315 ktas at 21,000', 3500+ fpm climb, aerobatic capable with full fly by wire. HUD and all the goodies. It was created on v6.16. Enjoy, I sure enjoyed building it.

File Description:
The SAS livery "DAISY" for Leif Ohlson´s X-Plane DC-3
by Miguel Angel Alvarez.
This livery can´t be used or alter in any way!
ONLY can use by user purposes and in any way can´t be used or alter for commercial purposes!
This textures can´t be distribuited with Leif Ohlson aircraft even by alone. ( By the Leif desires )
This is a free BITMAP and is dedicated to Leif Ohson and my son Diego. for his very good work on the DC-3 X-Plane aircraft.
INSTALATION:
Just unzip the two bitmaps into the Leif Ohlson DC-3 bitmaps carpet and enjoy!
You can get the DC-3 from Leif Ohlson at:
http://www.x-plane.org/users/loh/DC3.html
You can change the callsign by going into Planemaker, in the "Viewpoint" section.
Change the "SE-LOH" there, and your new callsign will appear also in the cockpit
(as well as over the radio).

| SoloTrek XFV v6.25/6.30 |
|
File Description:
After many people asked for it...  the SoloTrek� is back!  and it is better yet. Upgraded to XP v6+, sporting a totally revamped digital-helmet instruments panel and some nice surprises... Grab yours now.
SoloTrek� XFV� is a new kind of flying vehicle from Trek Aerospace that transports an individual in a standing position, efficiently and quietly, at speeds up to 80 mph. Because it is able to take off and land vertically (VTOL), like a helicopter, SoloTrek� XFV� can easily operate out of extremely confined spaces. Unlike an airplane with long wings, it never requires an airport runway.

| Grand Canyon Experience |
|
File Description:
This file has three aircraft that I flew out of Las Vegas on Air tour, and River Rafting support operations to the Grand Canyon National Park area.
Included are two versions of the Cessna 207 Stationair that I flew in 1997, both of which are in Eagle Canyon Airlines livery. The other aircraft is a Scenic Airlines DHC-6-300 Twin Otter "Vistaliner" that I flew from 1998 to 2000.
I have paid much attention to detail and authenticity, while test flying these airplanes. I wanted to be sure that they fly as accurately as possible to the real airplanes that they represent.
Download, and enjoy Version 1.00 of the Grand Canyon Experience.

| A6E Intruder for X-Plane 6.4 |
|
File Description:
A6E TRAM Intruder V.1.0 for X-plane 6.40 Copyright (c) November 2002 by Robert App. Some would say not the prettiest plane in the world but a deadly part of the US carrier task force, proven both in Vietnam and the Gulf War. Built by Grumman, the TRAM is a version of the A6E released in the late 1970's with improved laser guided weapons delivery, enhanced computers and an automatic carrier landing capability. The attached information gives the complete history of the plane and its various derivatives since first delivered to the Navy in February 1963. Version 1 is missing folding wings and fuel probe which will be fixed in a future update.

| Spruce Goose for X-Plane 6.4/6.51 (hk-1/H-4 Hercules) |
|
File Description:
Spruce Goose v1.0 for X-Plane copyright (c) by Robert App, January 2003. History of the "Goose" - Officially designated the HK-1 (this project started out as a join venture between Hughes Aircraft and Kaiser) and later designated the H-4 Hercules after Kaiser was unable to work with Howard. It was and still remains the largest (physical dimensions wingspan and length) aircraft ever built, with the largest radial engines ever built by the West (28 cylinder, 3000 HP). The plane had to be constructed mainly of wood due to the shortage of strategic metals caused by WWII. The plane became known as the "Spruce Goose" or "Flying Lumberyard" despite the fact that the wood frame and skin were constructed mainly of laminated poplar; it also involved "sandwich" construction. The plane was flown briefly on a trial taxiing run but Hughes never allowed the plane to be flown again. Speculation has always been rampant that the design was flawed and the plane could not have met the original specification requirements. The X-Plane model is as accurate as is possible with limited plans available to me. The main wing is an X-Plane standard symmetrical high lift airfoil as opposed to the high lift asymmetrical foil section used in the actual plane. The main wing angle of attack has been adjusted to emulate the asymmetrical foil as closely as possible.
Flight Testing the Goose - I have spent many hours testing the plane on X-Plane which with few exceptions provides a very accurate flight model. The published landing speed (79 mph) pretty well verifies the takeoff speed of 52 to 55 knots (k/hr x 1.15 (approx.) = mph). In straight flight the plane is difficult to stall since the nose quickly drops and increases speed if a stall develops with a significant loss of altitude. The plane has a range on 14000 gallons of fuel and takeoff weight of 350,000 Lbs of well over 3000 nautical miles. San Diego to Wake Island via Midway Attol is a piece of cake with lots of fuel to spare at 350,000 lb GW. The plane is flyable at a GW of over 410,000 lb but climb rate is very sluggish (max 400-600 fpm) and loss of speed due to excessive side slip can cause a fatal stall, in straight flight the plane is difficult to stall. So far my conclusion is that with todays materials and jet engines (which may be a future project) this aircraft could probably be competitive in performance with todays planes. With aluminum alloys that were available during its construction its performance would probably have exceeded the initial requirements.

| F5E Plus Tiger III v1.0 |
|
File Description:
F5E Plus Tiger III v1.0 for X-Plane 6.4/6.51 - The F5E Plus Tiger III is an upgrade of the F5E/F Tiger II and did not involve upgrades to the engines or airframe, avionics and electronics were substantially upgraded. The F5A Freedom Fighter was originally developed by Northrop as a light, fast, maneuverable and inexpensive fighter. Deliveries began in August 1964 and its various versions have been sold to many countries besides the US, including, Brazil, Canada, Greece, Chile, Honduras, Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, Sudan, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia and Yemen. Capable of speeds near mach 2 and a combat radius of 875 miles it is one of the most agile military aircraft ever produced.
