Maiden flight

[Corsaire31 419]

With Carenado sales going on, I bought the Skymaster which was missing in my hangar, always liked the look of that plane. This afternoon I introduced "Spirit of St Tropez" to its region, as the plane will be based in Cannes Mandelieu (LFMD)

 

A short flight from Cannes to Saint Tropez, overflight of Ramatuelle and the Pampelonne beach, and back to Cannes.

 

 

 

 

 

Nice weather on the Côte d'Azur this afternoon !

Great choice, a nimble and comfortable aircraft to fly.

 

There are some really good mods for it at that "unofficial site"

Nice one Loic.  My wish list grows when I see shot like those.

Great shots of a great plane. It was the second Carenado I bought, and I still jump into it quite frequently.

You are going to love it.

 

Cheers.

 

P.s.

This plane has the gentlest stall ever. Just haul the throttle and stick back while a couple miles out and 6,000 feet too high, crank the trim back and keep hauling the yoke back...and it will drop flat and level (you have to keep it flat, but it will keep aileron control while in a stall, and it drops at around 4-5000 fpm+...recover from the stall any time you wish to nudge a bit of stick and a bit of throttle and reset the trim to zero...so fun.

 

I recover from "in flight movie" distraction this way quite often...if the plane can do it.
