JohnnyJohnJohn Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Just some on the ground tonight until I can get some help in the other forums or a friend online with an oddity with my Duke. Had a Flap failure the last flight....limped away from that one, so back at it again.....can't keep a good airman down! Have a good night all....

RodgerC Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Yep, I've been there done that with my Duke. Possibly my favorite airplane. Along with their Lancair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Super shots Triple J. What's the problem? I do know if you lower the flaps at too high a speed they'll fail. The only way to repair them is to reload the plane. It's actually programmed to do this. Do you have the modified version that RealAir posted recently on their website? It's specifically designed for P3D 4.x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is what it is actually, now that you mentioned the high speed - I was coming in rather hot, like a Murdock landing on the A-Team....one of my sloppier ones since flying this bird. I was kind of surprised myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 J3, these are super-nice photos of the Duke. And you picked one of the nicest of the ORBX small airports. Wonderful combination. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe also if you apply too much power to an engine, it's cumulative and eventually the engine will fail and you'll have to reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, this is why I like this plane, it's in the same league as A2A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You actually have to manage the power to keep three parameters, Torque, ITT and NG (RPM), in their green arc. It is a very interesting aircraft.

dominique Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The Duke turbines are very expensive, you’d better take care of them. There are, in the manual, indications of the optimal parameters. And speed limits to deploy the flaps <cough, cough>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
