A2A T-6 Texan Released!

[StormILM]

I find it's a great trainer for tail-draggers

Absolutely my feeling, IMO, the best ever made for FS.

I created a separate thread for the video but wanted to keep it attached to the release thread as well

A great video from Kermit Weeks describing the preparation and flying of his AT-6.
I love his Kermy cam vidoes since he really goes into the details of how the aircraft function

There is a great scenery file for Fantasy of Flight, but I can't remember if I found it here or elsewhere. It includes his Constellation, the PBY, most of the workshops, the water tower and of course the museum itself. Warbirds are fun there, but I particularly like the GAS Robin there! Will have to try this T-6 as well.

Some work-in-progress on the restored AT-6D N4086T "Heave Ho", painted in the historic markings of the squadron hack used by the 355th FS, 354th FG in England during WWII - used during the war for beer runs and joy rides. ; )

Still some more details to add (namely all of the stencils).

Very nice, thank You!

Great set of videos by Kermit Weeks there... Just remember that they are of a D and not G variant... A2A modelled the G...

He has his painted up as a WASP training aircraft which looks pretty sharp.
I was looking for a historic place to fly and decided to give Avenger field in Sweetwater TX, their training base, a go.
It is a wonder that any of them graduated. In the two days I did flights out of their the wind was never under 15 knots, not always right down an available runway.
I pulled off a 16 knot direct crosswind landing which was actually not my most exciting one of the day. They say a wheel landing is best for crosswind but that has not been my experience so far.

Well, got on my atv to have a first look at my T-6 being delivered to the hangar at Heron's Nest



Now I have to work myself through the manual before being qualified to fly this beauty.

Luckily there is a good checklist posted on the A2A forum.

Oh, and the first update arrived just a few hours ago as well.

 

[Ian Warren]

Love ya parking spot

 

[manfredc3]

Thanks Ian,

I thought it was a good location to start and doing some sight seeing, lol.

 

[StormILM]

I have to say, Heron's Nest is challenging enough but then I ran the T-6 off and back on a several times and let's just say, the normal landing technique is OUT THE WINDOW (or better, OFF THE CLIFF!) LOL. I had to plant the tailwheel immediately on touchdown and ride the brakes down the hill with full back pressure on the stick but I manage to stop it safely each time (except the first two runs). Oh, I also recommend 1 notch of flaps for takeoff!

For the T-6 only or Accusim? Reason I ask is I looked for a new update after reading your post but did not find anything (I may have simply not looked in the right place).

 

[Dimus]

Haven't tried Heron's Nest yet but the landing technique that seems to work best for me for short field is a tail low wheeler. This way it does not take long for it to settle. Now I know where I'm going tonight.
