Junkers F13 Old Amphibious Version

Junkers F 13k (1:1 Scale, but floats are bigger than original, because of Stormworks' block mass and buoyancy. Also there were no wheels in the original floatplane.)

Click Here for the land plane variant.

This is recreation of Junkers F13k, since 1930 with closed cockpit, toilet, modified undercarraige (floats and wheels) and wing and different engines.

F13k is considerable heavier than previous F13a because of extra utilities, equipments and being able to takeoff and land on both land and water. I increased the wing area, improved engine performance, relocated exhaust, fixed tail heaviness to meet the new requirements. Still cruise speed is slower than F13a which is expected because of huge air friction of floats. But the max range is still huge, 660 km. Maybe a bigger engine would fit better this plane. Because fuel consumption increases excessively after certain RPS of small diesel engine.

FEATURES

- Medium sized amphibious aircraft
- Fuel economy mode
- Arctic clothing, Diving equipment, Parachute and few other equipments
- Winch with mag all for anchoring or maybe carrying small cargo beneath
- Cozy interior with heater, seats, a bed and the most importantly a toilet
- Various cruise and stability controls and indicators
- Fuel consumption dials
- Stabilizer

PILOT'S MANUAL

1. Magnetos ON
2. Fuel Coc.k switch ON
3. Mixture to full rich (0.30)
4. Throttle to 20-25% if on land, 100% if on water
5. Start the engine either pressing [2] or, if you want realistic approach, press and hold "Swing Propeller" button to start the engine. (Stand clear of the propeller or you may get injured or even die.)
6. Wheel brakes off if you are on land
7. Reach speed over 100-110 km/h before takeoff

Note1: Make sure fuel economy mode is disabled when takeoff
Note2: Always takeoff and land AGAINST wind direction if there is wind.
