Just to add something, Piper manual is not detailed at all about takeoff technique.
The normal takeoff technique is conventional for the Arrow IV. The tab should be set slightly aft of neutral, with the exact setting determined by the loading of the airplane. Allow the airplane to accelerate to 65 to 75 KIAS depending on the weight of the aircraft and ease back on the control wheel to rotate to climb attitude.[...]
SECT 4-19 NORMAL PROCEDURES

Oooop, my bad!!! Thanks very much for the clarification, ardix!
I was actually not aware of this model... - I always thought the PA-28R were the planes with retractable gear but without turbo and the PA-28RT model was with turbo charger... (T = Turbo???)
PA28RT-201T
The first T is T tail, the second T is Turbocharged. So the "normal" version is only called PA28RT-201.
They put a T after the R to distinguish from the Arrow III (PA28R-201). The turbocharged version of the Arrow III is so called PA28R-201T.
Hope it is clear.

Thanks for your comments Snave. It's true this is an underpowered model, but I still think the amount of trim up required for takeoff (let's say VR 75 kt) is too much.
Unfortunately, I can't explain this in other words... it's about feelings. I have about 8 hours flight time in a real PA28RT-201 Arrow IV (not so much... it's true) and I don't agree about the exaggerated pitching moment. I need to fly this bird again, maybe I will notice it.
PS: this is the real one I flown:

Hello Bernd, thanks for your reply. I will try your edits.
I just wanted to clarify one thing:
Carenado simulates the PA-28RT-201 Arrow IV (Four place, retractable landing gear landplane, Lycoming IO-360-C1C6 engine of 200 hp (149 kW), gross weight 2,750 lb (1,247 kg). First certified on 13 November 1978. Features a T tail), this is not a PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV (Four place, retractable landing gear landplane, turbocharged Continental TSIO-360-FB engine of 200 hp (149 kW), gross weight 2,900 lb (1,315 kg). First certified on 13 November 1978. Features a T tail).
So the Carenado PA28RT-201 is correctly not turbocharged, but it has to be fuel injected like the turbo version!
PS: info wikipedia and real manual

update: Antarctica X and US Cities Detroit

On Antarctica X beta too...
-
Agree every point!

Is this the same when you look at it from a slightly different angle? I don't see that problem here.
I tried to rotate the knobs from the standard vc view. Screen resolution 1920x1080, no widescreen enabled in fsx.cfg.
-
Yep, I'm the same guy lol...
All I'm saying is by default the panel state is default GPS500 - and it should work like so. Mine does not... it just CTD's unless I comment out that gauge line.
LOL my fail!

Just tested this little plane in a short local flight.
It's awesome! I particularly like the stall warning sound: I've finally found an fsx aircraft with a realistic stall warning, since it starts to be audible 5-10 knots before stall speed, and not AT the stall speed (like 99% of FSX aircrafts out there). Note that I've never flown DA20, but only DA40 in real life, however stall warning system is the same type.
And now let's talk about the issue: I use RXP 530, I think that clickspots for outer knob and inner knob are a bit misplaced.
However, great work Marcel!

Getting a CTD when I try to load this plane within FSX. My default flight is C172 from the VC.
The odd thing is - the faulting module is rxpGNS.dll - maybe it has something to do with the fact that I don't have the GNS530, and only the 430?
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: fsx.exe

Anyway, FSX Acceleration, all the C++/.NET libraries, latest DX update, latest video drivers
Win 7 x64 SP1
Yes, it's only compatible with RXP GNS 530.

Well, until you implement an updateable and fully functional Garmin GPS (save/load flightplans, custom waypoint database), IT'S NOT! =P
It's as easy as that.
For everyone flying online, the standard one isn't good enough. Even if you can insert those custom waypoints with external programs into a flightplan, the airspace structures change, waypoints change etc.
True and now my gns 430/530 with airac 1101 is awesome when flying on IVAO.

Close but not this week.
Nice. If already completed, is it possible to read the manual in advance?

Could you show a screen of the cockpit with RealityXP GNS530? It would be appreciated.

This aircraft will be an absolute winner. She looks stunning! Therefore I find it a shame the choice was made to implement that awfully looking FSX default GPS. I mean, it doesn't even resemble the GNS500 it's supposed to depict. Apart from that, almost all panelshots of the Katana I could find on the internet do no contain large GPS units, although a GNS430 seems common. Would it be possible to put a Reality XP GNS430 in the panel of this Katana?

Objection your honour!
a well trained pilot, who is paying attention to universal valid learning content, will aim to minimize his workload to zero. Due to its unchallenging behavior, the spermbird is highly esteemed by elder flyers which always do, what they always did. But the truth is, all grandpa-pilots, that I know, are not able to navigate correct with ADF and VOR, as far as the Katana is equiped with. DA20 is a VFR-plane and its sufficient to have a proper flight preparation, compounded with a skillful visual navigation. In times where a lot of LR-NDB´s are going to be shut down, a GPS for additional flying convenience is surely the better deal. When doing so, you might have spare time, to look out of the cabin to relax and enjoying the scenery, what was hardly possible the last 20 years, while traking ADF and VOR in a ridiculous 2-seat-coffee-tourer.
Totally agree.

The Dimona is almost finished.
This may sound great, but let me tell you that the last bits are very time consuming.
The thing flies great already. However, I must fly the real thing again (wich I can't do at the moment due to weather and the fact, that it has no prop at the moment, lol), to check up a few things like the AoA in flight. I must be totally sure here, because it looks really strange in FSX and customers WILL complain. But thats how it is in real life.
The propeller animation needs to be rewritten.
The Sounds has to be tuned a bit, altough it sounds pretty much like the real thing already :-)
And last but not least, there are some things to be tuned on the 3D front, plus adding a second version for full CVFR flight.
Best regards Joachim
Thanks for this update. Take your time

Same problem for me, big fps drop on final approach in Mountain Air.

Thanks aerosoft! D.A.1 is outstanding stuff!! Merely the braking action at Barra probably is a bit too poor, I think.
Quote. Can't land safely without using aircrafts with reverse thrust.

Just a thank you.
