jmoss 1 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hey guys, I am confused. I just saw a announcment for a Dornier Do-27 from Digital Aviation. The Cheyenne was targeted for this week I thought?? Not that the Dornier isn't nice, but we have been waiting a long time for the Piper. Can anyone clear this up? Thanks. Best regards, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Considero 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I had the same thought as Jeff. The Dornier looks great. But it left me with the feeling the Piper Cheyenne is (partly) delayed because of the development of the Dornier. So some extra information would be appreciated.

ChrisB 11 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 The Do27 is from Digital Aviation... Different developers, different programmes. Besides - the announcement says something about "close to releasing"... without too much sarcasm intended, so was the Piper - last year :wink: :wink: But I can promise this - the Do27 is a beautiful realworld plane - I've jumped out of one often enough - at the safe end of a parachute :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do we have to expect two Piper Cheyenne's to be released at almost the same time? :? :? http://www.digital-aviation.de/ewpforum/vi...4145dd424459df7 Kind regards, Arjen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sar71 110 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Digital Aviation is not a one-man-show One developer works on the Cheyenne and the other on the Do-27... But I have two questions: What is that for an interesting feature with the prop? And what is that for a nice scenery? Thanks and greetings Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelFelde 527 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hello, First as Tim said, where are more than just one guy, so the Do-27 won't delay the Piper at all. Answer to the first question: You can damage the prop. As well as many other components too. There is an option to fly without a damage modell for those who like to do so. Answer to the second question: France VFR - Belle-Ile en mer. Regards, Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6297J 11 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Speaking for myself - I would MUCH rather have the Dornier than the Cheyenne. It looks amazing :shock: Chris how many jumpers can fit in the back of one? Looks a bit cramped! I love the worn paintwork - just beautiful!!

Cheyenne is a "Limo", Do27 a small pickup... both will have their place in my hangar :wink: Now let me see... we used to go up with three jumpers and a jumpmaster. What mad this plane just a bit difficult, was the carpeted floor. It's not that easy to butt-shuffle on carpet :wink: I haven't got any photos anymore, but I think we took the co-pilot's seat out as well. The plane belonged to our neighbouring jump club near Paderborn. We used to borrow that and a Beaver when our club's Islander was down for a service. Any ex Brit military guys around may well remember Sennelager... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
