Flightstar Spyder Ultralight  

3 different aircraft including Rotax 447 powered wheeled, Rotax 503 powered wheeled, and Rotax 503 powered float. 

Many animated parts included. This is a complete build outside of Planemaker for accuracy and more detail.

This is a brand new build for v8 from the ground up with plans for the real aircraft. You have your choice of interior viewing with panning a detailed virtual cockpit or you can use as switching for viewing. Nice instrument panels are included with custom instruments that are all easy to read. You can customize the instrument layout in Planemaker very easily if you would like. Making your own liveries is very easy as well. The possibilities are endless.

The values found flying in the sim should compare within 5% tolerance of real values.

Making your own livery:

You can use you favorite paint program to make your own livery very easily. You can use the paint bucket and place your favorite colors at the locations labeled in the ultralight_cockpit.png graphic file of each aircraft. Or, you can repaint as you wish. Be sure to save in .png format with a layer active for transparency.

For a nice inexpensive alternative paint program you can try Paint Shop Pro. They usually have a demo you can download and try.

 

Some Flying Tips:

You will need to steer with your rudder in the water.

Takeoffs and landings are intended to be on grass and not pavement for the float model if not taking off or landing on water.

Cruise is intended to be at 5000 RPM

Set wave height less than .5 feet for best results in the water. 

Takeoff and land into the wind.

Approach speed 45 MPH

There is no audible stall indicator. Watch your speed when near the end of the green arc.
