VC and Flight Dynamics, as well as sound, are all still in the works. The flight dynamics are especially challenging as we are trying to build in accurate, engine off, auto rotation, as well as cruise and climb performance that is as historically accurate as possible. The fact that it is neither a plane nor a helo just compounds the challenges. If anyone has any data on the performance of the Pitcairn, please let us know. We especially need Vx Vy speeds. Thanks

I'll do my best to get hold of what you need, but if you have access to Jane's All the Worlds Aircraft, you'll find the data there. But I have a book around here by Pitcairn's sons...
Let me look around

Hiyah Bookman ...hey I will send you a brand new pack of bandaids for your jaw if you happen to have a photo of the right hand side of the pilots cockpit?I am currently engaged in a letter writing series with Johnny Miller who is giving me the real dope on how the PCA-2 really flew,but alas he has not one pic of his or any other cockpit...LOL

Sadly not many pilots think to take pictures of their cockpits. Well I guess that makes sense, after all how many doctors, lawyers, and insurance salesmen take pictures of their offices?
