Piper Aztec coming from Aeroplane Heaven

Any news on this? This one has me VERY excited! Just to be clear, there will be both the "B" and "C" variants in this package? From the pics it looks like the engine cowlings and scoops are a combination of both "B" and "C" models. The air inlets are saying "C" model but the round scoops are saying "B" model.

Either way...my CC is burning a hole in my pocket for this one!!! My birthday is the 17th.....just putting it out there. (hey...I can dream right!?):jump::jump::jump:
 
There were two production number series of the C model. We are using official Piper factory engineering manuals to build from and they show rounded intakes. However, rest assured these details will be correct when the project is due for release in the last quarter of this year. :engel016:

Thanks for the update! I'm very ready for this airplane. :jump:
 
Bump!! :bump:

After the release of the B-17, I'm hoping the AH team could give us a small teaser of the progress on this bird.

Here is a pic of the Aztec I flew several years ago....

Perhaps a livery idea? :wavey:

Still can't wait for this one!!! :jump:

I'm going to guess the market for addons is continuing to drop - so Grrr to Carenado for not letting AF release their's. There's plenty of other planes to make!

I think they are two different Aztec variations, which may counteract some "same plane different company" issues. Also, it's Alabeo, AND, I don't see anything prohibiting AH or Alabeo from releasing their products.
Looking forward to both!
 
Not wholly unexpected I suppose, there's always room for more than one. Looks like a later sharp nose so we'll be different I am sure.:engel016:
 
AH is doing a D model. Alabeo looks to be an E or F. I hope they both make an option for the aftermarket squared off tips. They give almost an extra hours flying time! Mine had those. They gravity feed into the aux tanks from what I remember. I am looking forward to both!!! Anyone hear me say that before? LOL! ;)

Has anyone else noticed that AH has updated their site for the Aztec? :jump:

I'm sure it wont be long now.

From the cockpit screens it looks to be equipped with an Altimatic IIIb-1 autopilot. I wonder if the AP will be modeled to RL standards?

Does anyone have any RL experience with this AP? The Aztec I flew in RL had the IIb but I never used it as it was always deferred. :grumpy:
 
We are currently working on the Altimatic. You will have a choice of "standard" avionics with the Altimatic or digital avionics with a GNS and digital autopilot, currently switchable from the same cockpit..:engel016:
