Matthijs,

You have a leak and all information is passed there ...

... so you get the quick answers!

Or ArtAir is one of your new apprentices and you do not know.

Ok, hats off for the quick reply, I only know I am once again too late!

Äääääm another proposal: For the next quiz you can call me before!

an overview of all my repaints can be found on simtextur.de

With warm regards,
Holgi

Same crew as the Wilga. They got access to one at their club and they can fly it to test the behavior.
I love this aircraft, it's just crazy.

That is a classic! Great choice to develop. You just have to get those prop tip sounds right when they go supersonic at high rpm.

A rattling, humming junk of metal. Can't wait to see it in the FSX flesh.

Can someone explain how that small propeller can haul all that metal through the sky ? :huh:

I'm not asking for the float version though; the one with wheels will be enough for me. A great choice of subject and a definite purchase. Looking forward to it.

Not every damned thing is 'awesome'.

Gawd this really must be the most ungainly aircraft ever designed. I love Russian aircraft as they always seem to battle with the the laws of nature.

Awesome! I have always loved the Antonov-2's looks. And, apparently it's still being used to this day. Not sure yet if I'll buy this, but chances are pretty high. Solid Russian aircraft are hard to get, so I tend to get every one that I can find!

Hello everyone. I have little experience on the flight Аn-2. About 50 hours. I learned on this bird.
Posted Image

My instructor was an experienced pilot, who has spent most of his life flew in Аn-2 spraying chemicals over fields, then a few years in Africa, he now ATR-42 captain .In the Soviet Union, a huge army of AN-2 sprayed chemicals over fields. Flight altitude was from 1 to 5 meters depending on the type of vegetables or cotton. The crews work to 50 takeoffs and landings a day. Tank of the chemicals was in the passenger cabin and chemicals are often stuck in the tank and then the co-pilot take a sledgehammer and knocked on tank.This went on every day.So many pilots have died because they fell asleep at the yoke of the physical and psychological stress.

An-2 legendary aircraft. He could fly with a huge overweight.If pilot was able to lift the rear wheel in the air, the plane took off with a large overweight.
I want to share feelings on the flight An-2.
After engine start my instructor taught me three times press the the elevator switch trimer to pitch up , it is for that would be the rear wheel during the takeoff run faster lift and for a stable with a raised wheel.
Before taking off the throttle should be given slowly because there is a huge torque from the propeller and the aircraft can be rotated 180 degrees. During take-off to use the right pedal to maintain the direction of take-off,because there is a tendency torque propeller. Efforts on the right foot could be significant depending on the wind direction. Once the engine reached the take-off power , yoke gently pushed away and maintain in that position until the rear wheel rises,and then some time the plane running on runway with a raised tail.Do not pull the yoke itself, the plane will fly.
There are two types of landing.The classic and so-called Aeroflot type.The first type, landing at three points. At an altitude of 10 to 15 meters engine idle position ,than flare and landing.Aeroflot type- aircraft landing on the main gear and runs on the runway with a raised tail, and then engine to idle, and the tail itself lands.Another ability of an-2 is a weightless flight.

The Soviet Union was made a great film about the An-2 pilots.Its name translates from Russian "Request take off".It was filmed in 1971.The film unfortunately only in Russian, but it is possible to see many of the life of the Soviet pilots an-2.

Thank you Stetter for sharing this movie. Very interesting, the characters in just these few minutes ignited my curiosity, I am going to try and watch it even without knowing russian (and I was expecting a propaganda movie about tough URSS equipment

- I couldn't have been more prejudiced

).

Aerosoft and Mathjis - good to see you returning to noisy, oily, old aircraft!

Yes after Yekaterinburg there will be more Russian scenery. But so far no titles to tell about.

That has not been decided yet.

Well at least you didn't say 'No' there is still hope I think. IMO Aerosoft doing this type of aircraft in a wheeled only flavor would be a mistake, this bird deserves the Beaver X treatment.

Wheeled (crop duster), floats, and ski.

I am looking forward to this over all the aircraft currently in development. Count me in for beta if possible.
