ManuelL 71 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hello, Not sure if the Bushhawk is used for airtows normally - but it does the job quite nicely Thanks for waching! Kind regards Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManuelL 71 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 After some more tows - I may have to re-think it. It's a bit on the wild side: +10 climb, very fast and it tends to go into a steep left turn until aerotow kicks in and returns the tow to the pattern. - Yes, I know I should retract the gear I tried some other planes as well and interestingly some of the common tow planes tend to be a bit weak in FSX (Robin, Do-27). The Cessna 182 seemed very suitable to me in FSX (the club I was in as a kid had one as tug). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 10... you mean 1000ft/minute. You set your FSX to imperial. 1000tf/min are round about 5meter/second wich is possible with a strong tug. The bush hawk has a 6 cylinder Lycoming IO 540 L1C5 with 300hp. This is almost the same engine used in an extra300 (Lycoming IO 540 L1B5 - 300hp) So I guess It goes very well. (Made aerotows in reallife only behind a Robin DR400-180 -180hp and that gave me round about 3.5meters/second (700ft/min). I think, it is probably possible to reach more than 5 meters with the BH) Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Schweigler 203 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 There is a program out there called "aerotow" You can change towplane with this program and even set a tow patern. http://lennundus.orgkaos.org/failid/workinprogress/aerotow.zip It works very fine :-) Cheers Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Schweigler 203 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 no idea, use win7, too. Try to ask the developer of this program. Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
