Thread: SPARTAN 7W EXECUTIVE released

    Is there a tailwheel lock for this thing? For the life of me, if it starts to wander off due to torque/p-factor and I kick in even a hair of rudder, the s-turn oscillation dance begins. The only thing I can do to tame it is to get the tailwheel up ASAP.

    The dev took a shot at putting in positive tail steering, but set the max steering angle to 90°. A little basic trig (that math subject you swore in high school you'd never use) shows that 70° is ideal to let you pivot on one main. Open the flight model config file and make the following change, highlighted in bold red:

    90° just makes things way too twitchy. I'm not sure if there is a tail wheel lock, but if there is, and you want a true caster, change that 70 to 180.

Even though the renders that IniBuilds had posted were still quite early, they already showed a vastly higher level of visual accuracy and craftsmanship than this HCG offering.

    These were the IniBuilds renders:
    Has the Inibuilds Spartan Executive been cancelled? I hope it hasn't, for the same reasons as you!

    Wasn't aware this was out until I noticed a recent post in this Forum, & being a sucker for Radials, I purchased it.
    Have had several long flights with it & overall I have found it very enjoyable to fly.
    Fairly priced at USD20, I am not sure if the fuel economy is correct or that it is on the parsimonious side, but it goes a long way on full tanks.
    I was pleased to see the KAP 140 AP as it lets me set VS & ALT HLD & NAV, & I can send it off for a long trip & get back in an hour or so to find it is on track, at the correct altitude.
    Although an INI version may turn up, this one is meeting my requirements.
    Just need Jankees to come up with a few liveries.
