Iris BD5 Repaint

Hey gang,

Had to do a quick repaint of the BD5 prop version. This is the prototype, or one of them, original paint scheme in a slightly vanilla color, Porsche red (slightly orange) stripe.


Loving this plane!

Slowing her down in flight is the trick. You need to maintain a level altitude, pull back the throttle, wait a moment until she is slowed down to 140-150, then pull a notch of flaps. When she's around 120, drop the gear and add more flaps. At a point, she starts doing a nose-up 'Concord' like attitude to maintain altitude or glide slope. Just watch your speed and continue in, MP around 10 LBs+.

She touches down so gently. You can sometimes not even detect it. Must be the ground effect for such a small, lite weight bird?



The brakes were fine by the way. I didnt program in my brake button correctly into P3D. Brakes quite well.
