Hey Lester-- I tried to access your link but was denied access. I requested access and the message said I would receive an email with the answer.

Thanks,

Re: For Side: turbo-supercharging fixed on Piper PA23

Hi Lester-- I'm also running the Piper PA-23 but as an Aztec not the Apache. In my research, I concluded that Helijah had inadvertently built the Aztec airframe but powered it as if it were the older Apache. I've done a lot of interior customization of the instrument panel, so it didn't seem appropr...

Re: For Skyboat: Improved supercharging for the DC-5's P&W 1830

Hi Lester, I flew the DC-5 this afternoon and was very pleased with the great improvement in power. I had a KIAS of 191 at 13500 ft, which produced a ground speed of 223 kts! Not bad. Not bad at all. Thanks again for the supercharger code and the other "tweaks" to get the optimum performan...

Re: For Skyboat: Improved supercharging for the DC-5's P&W 1830

Hi Lester: The DC-5 engines started the first fime. That's usually a very good sign. I'm test flying right now. I'm at 7500 ft, KIAS set to 200, but the best speed I can make is 194 lkias. At max throttle Engine 0, is showing 1866.21 torque-ft-lb and 741.6 thrust-lbs at 2699 rpm . The yasim code put...

Re: For Skyboat: Improved supercharging for the DC-5's P&W 1830

Lester-- Thanks very much for sending me the supercharging code for the DC-5 engines. I had wondered why their performance was so anemic. I can use notepad ++. I have had it for many years. However, I am far from fluent in nasal. So please send a set of instructions on how to correctly modify the DC...

The model is available from Emmanuel Baranger's (aka Helijah) Hangar. Here is the link to the plane: http://helijah.free.fr/flightgear/tar.gz/f27-11-1...
