"Egorych" Light Airplane

Description
Floatplane version
  • A simple airplane made as a reference to the Russian private amateur-built plane from late 80s.
  • The plane turns a bit wacky due to gyroscopic forces of the rotors and their suboptimal placing.
  • To enable thrust reverse, press the seat Hotkey 3, hold the Arrow Down key and wait until plane completely stops.
  • Top speed is about 320 km/h, fuel reserve for half an hour of flight.

Sorry to ask but how do you xml edit rotors?

Very easy to handle and fly. Great for beginners, and still fun for more experienced fliers. Great job :D

With a constant torque load, overheating takes more than half an hour, so the plane is more likely to run out of fuel earlier.

Do you know how much time does this take to overheat?

I actually had a challenge idea of using non-cooled 1-cylinder engine to fly from Harrison Airbase to Dreimor. In a 5-6 minutes test flight with a 1-cylinder test plane, engine was just below overheating temp when I reached Dreimor.

The engine will not overheat in a reasonable amount of time if its fuel consumption is less than 0.005 liters per second per cylinder, so it is profitable to install more cylinders instead of cooling radiators.

Non-cooled modular engine is interesting idea.

Back in 1909 when Blériot XI was crossing the English channel for the first time in history, its 25 HP Anzani engine avoided overheating thanks to a rain shower.

Thank you for making this, it's alot of fun to fly and land even! This is a great out of the box plane & carries a surprising amount of weight for it's size. I'm currently in the middle of adding dual light autocannons & six AA Radar missiles and other than having to up the prop blade count to 3 each, this thing is just as fast.

(The modifications is just for my personal use, I'm not uploading this anywhere.)
