Avistar anyone?

[donhef]

Hi Folks,

I'm new here and I just purchased G3 and I really like it so far. The only thing is thata I would really like to fly the trainer that I have for real (Hobbico Avistar). Can anyone tell me how I can either create this plane or is there one already made up and available for use? Any help would be appreciated!

most of the new trainers are copies of each other with little differants.

the PT-40 is really Close to your Hobbico Avistar..

i am tryihng to get a bigger and better color of the PT-40 going
i just put in a re-quest for it tonight.
we will see if it can be done and how long it will take.

i keep you posted

When I had G2 I had found a paint scheme of an Avistar for the PT-40. I then tweaked the planes settings a little and it looked and flew just like my avistar.

Look around in the G2 swap page for the paint scheme. I'm pretty sure I saw some people here say that they got G2 schemes working with G3.

Thanks Guys, I really appreciate it. I read the spcs for the PT 40 and it says that it has a flat bottom airfoil, where the Avistar has a semi symetrical one along with 3 degrees of dihedral. Is it possible to go into the PT 40 settings and change it that way? Plus, I have a 46 FX engine in mine. Once again, just trying to get the most out of the G3 prior to getting to the field. I wish the wind would stop!

Thanks,
Don

In the aircraft editor check out "Airfoil at Root", "Airfoil at Tip", and "Dihedral (deg)" all parameters under [Aircraft Name] > "Airframe" > "Main Wing" for any aircraft.
