The Yakovlev AIR-7 was built to study high-speed flight and as such it incorporated many leading edge aerodynamic devices such as an enclosed cockpit, Towesend ring and wheel pants. The career of the AIR-7 was brief, lasting only until 1934 when the failure of an aileron caused a forced landing in freight yard. During this period, this plane established a respectable top speed of 332km/h (179 Kts) in 1933.
This model features fully animated control surfaces and prop, as well as a detailed cockpit interior with a pilot. The panel is hand drawn and is visually accurate to the actual panel. All instrument sizes, types and placement are accurate; however, I am not a gauge designer so I substituted Cessna gauges for the originals.
