jlindblo Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 There may be flaps on this MS Ford Trimotor, but if so, I could not find them. Anyway .... been wanting to fly this thing so this one is out of Emo Mission to Kododa ( Orbx PNG) AND a short flight! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWclr0WjuEA&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSRobert Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Nice EZDok action James and was that Hawaiian music or maybe island music in general. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlindblo Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thanks Robert, One of my favorites from YouTube. Either "davepedalsteel" or "kerrsteel". They both create some beautiful guitar music . I'm still trying to figure which video or "reply to" in the forum that could not be opened. If you remember give a holler and I'll try to track it down.

Voyager Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I was already longing for the region. This aircraft brings us back to the 1930's: I have not lived at that time, but I love the aesthetics of those times. Excellent and smooth video James!

Times were definitely different. We lived in a tent and dad worked in the mines. I never thought about being poor though ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 No flaps but nitro in the tank ! A trimotor taking off as easily on a 1500 feet not paved strip in hot weather is as doped as a Russian athlet, I'd say ! Twas fun I bet, wasn't it ?

jlindblo Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 It was ......different, like a big Cub and take a look at the size of those wings and then add 3 engines (1,200 hp total). I never found the lift off roll distance in Google but in several videos it was off the ground in about 10 seconds after the start of the roll. Comments were that it had a very short take off. Franklin Roosevelt used one for campaigning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
