Guest Howard Hughes Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 J160:):) Fairly important not to set your sights to high! For me it's the A-10 Warthog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bidgee Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 For me it's the A-10 Warthog... Second that! Not very pretty but a helluva lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthjay85 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 im not a big on the aircraft type of person. but I wouldhave to say my favourite aircraft would be the Cessna corvalis 350. a beautiful sleek low wing aircraft that really looks the bizz and has some nice specs to go with it.

metanoia Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The F-22 Raptor, obviously. If it wasnt such a failure of funding (not that I care about what the US spends it money on), or needed 30 hours maintenance for every hour of flight.. It looks like it was ripped straight from a game. Hah! :) Have you seen Stavatti's proposed SM-27? It's pretty cool - it's a fighter with two contra-rotating props in pusher configuration. They've not built one yet, but apparently they have pitched them to a few airforces. (AND you can fly one in x-plane :)) The plane that I most want to see is an Ion: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howard Hughes Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Ion[/url]: What a great looking aircraft, looks like it could be a contender in my fastest LSA thread too!:thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shags_j Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 What a great looking aircraft, looks like it could be a contender in my fastest LSA thread too!:thumb_up: I Am so buying one of these. When will they be finished???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howard Hughes Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The plane that I most want to see is an Ion: Just a quick question on the ION, am I right in assuming that in Oz we could have the high speed wings, as we do not have the 120 knot requirement?

shags_j Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Depends on what the stall speeds become. I had the same thought. They don't list stall speeds anywhere on the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Another couple. Boeing Stearman, but it's only a trainer. ME 262. considering when it was built. concorde looks right on the ground or in the air .(before it drops its nose) .N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Walter Buschor Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Jet:Hawker Hunter Mk 58 : the most beautiful Jet ever. Developed to and over it's max. design brief. Prop: Me 109 G , It shot down more than ANY other Aircraft and is revered by it's pilots. Erich Hartmann With 352 kills avoided 7 Mustangs until he ran out of fuel an jumped out. It also required some pilot skills. - nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rocketdriver Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 For me, yes, Concorde, TSR2, Hawker Hunter, Spitfire .... They all look "just right" .. BUT .. I was surprised to find that my absolutely hands down all time favourite aircraft that I have flown is ,,,, the Winjeel. Mick Parer :star: had good taste as it was also his favourite too ..... Lovely Radial engine, fully aerobatic (but no prolonged inverted flight please due lack of inverted oil system) and 4 seats. Seating position so perfect that there is only one position to sit, almost fully duplicated controls left and right (less carb hot air and canopy I think), very robust and much more sprightly than most non sporting GA aircraft .... It did need a bit of attention on roll out and could waddle about a bit in turbulence and it did like drinking (oil and petrol!), but I can forgive all of that ..... wish I had one!
