However, when taxying, the pull of the CS prop, even with the power lever at idle (6 to 7% displayed on the power meter) is significant, and it may be necessary to use the brakes to regulate speed. 1.6K likes. Following on from our PA-28 series, C152 and Duchess Model 76 aircraft, this highly detailed simulation of the Robin DR400-180 Regent has been developed by Just Flight's in-house team following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life DR400, G-BEUP, based at … With the flaps up and 130kph indicated (approximately 74kt) our rate of climb is just under 800fpm.

More importantly, in countries where recreational aviation is not so developed, the problem of 100LL supply is not so easily solved. Last powerful version DR-400/120 Dauphin. The CD-155 can also operate at maximum power continuously at any altitude thanks to its constant-speed propeller and liquid cooling. 5 Dat e May .1979 5 6 8 10 11 13 Engine Starting T axy ing Checks before take—off Take-off C 1 imb Cruise Descent Landing After landing che cks Ground manoeuvres Tethering — precautions prolonged parking The opinion of Robin Aircraft 155CDI is the best option you have if you wish to use your plane for all types of missions : mountain, traveling, training and towing.

In addition, I was not used to the minimal effort needed to operate the power control. Transfer of fuel from the long range tank to the main tank is still by gravity feed but, unlike the petrol engine, the rate of transfer exceeds the rate of consumption at 75% power−a comforting safety feature.
