dominique Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 A flight from Diamond Point to a small strip north of the Vancouver Island. A lot of gusty winds during that flight making Anushka difficult to trim (what did I say?) The spotter's paradise on my way Arriving at Crawfish Lake After a reconnaissance of the strip on the left, flying to the end of the valley (mercifully large enough) to double back. Yes I forgot to open the cowls hence the black smoke! base Taking a large breath, the Xwind is nasty for such a large plane skimming the trees Down in one piece, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbxtreme Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Great job on the landing, this AN-2 is such a workhorse. Too bad there are still crashes on a regular basis (at least that's what we see in Airliner World on their montly list of incidents or accidents).

dominique Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks for the kind words, guys. The Sibwings An2 is indeed one of the 2013 highlights . She's a slow girl (well, she's faster than the Cub but that doesn't say much, does it ?) but, as a short hauler, well suited for an OrbX scenery size and can go almost anywhere because of her STOL ability . You're well in charge (no autopilot) and if she has not the depth of an Accusim wonder you'd better look after your engine or else... I love the P40 type of startup too (flying wheel with a clutch). I hope that the announced update will come soon to cure minor bugs like the continuous morse beeping of the ADF (when you use it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Great shots! I've never seen this airplane!W-h-a-t?? You can't be serious!!! (In my best John McEnroe voice ). It's a *beauty* from Sibwings. Incredible flight model and fantastic modelling. I've plastered ORBX with shots of it. ***Highly recommended***! Wonderful shots, Dominique, of one of my favourite liveries! Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I have the Staggerwing and don't take it out a lot now that I moved in faster aircrafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
