Too many differences. Best bet would be a scratch build.

Hi!

I have just installed it and got it fly almost flawless by AI....

I have only noticed a strange fuel starvation after few minutes of flight....

Thanks for share a peculiar and potentially useful plane!

Sorry to bother Zflyer48!

Any chance to change the fuel consumption rate?

It's tanks became empty really quickly and use it in missions is a bit hard....

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

No bother at all. A small break from the frustration of other mods.
Try this. Copy, paste, and overwrite.

Fixed see-thru, also.

Hi mate!

Thanks for the update!

Junst installed and tested!

About the range....

Now the fuel last for 46 minutes of flight....for my missions could be sufficent but if we should take in consideration something more historical:

From Wiki....

Cruise speed 180 kmph
Range 640 km
Flight time at cruise speed about 3,5 hours or 210 minutes
Actual flight time 45 minutes
To have historical correct range fuel consumption in FM should be reduced by 5 about times....BUT for practical most of the users a missions a flight time of 90 minutes could be sufficent....

About the 3do fix....

I have to revert to old files because the new one made the plane not showing and the log report this error:

Okay, I know what the problem is. Easy fix.
Will send another update.
Will also send another FM to increase fuel.

Thanks for the updates Mike, really appreciated. 8)

Thanks ! Now... this little plane needs some skins... saw on Wiki that it had various users : could be interesting !

I did make a start on this in order to make an Israeli skin but had a few issues with aligning things so it has taken a
back seat, the update Mike posted has reminded me I had still this to do so hopefully now I will get on with it, time
permitting. ;)





Take care and be safe.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Hello guys, the template/skin is slowly getting there. ;)





There are no good photographs that I can find to show exactly where lines and such should be so this
is as near as I can get as far as aligning things so far.
According to Wiki the aircraft was primarily made with 'plastic-bonded plywood construction with some
spruce and metal parts', I cannot see in images how this was held together, the only bolts/screws are
around the engines which are metal but what holds the rest together is anyone's guess so I will not be
trying to add rivets/fasteners as such because I just cannot see exactly how this would have been done,
maybe there were screws holding the fuselage together and they were possibly covered with a filler or
possibly it was glued, I know not.

If anyone can shed light on the above please post as I would be interested to know.

Take care and be safe.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D
