Of those I know, but they are not made as perfect as it does Milton Shupe.: Krútiť:
Pitch Trim and Heading Selector Fix for the Avia 51 and Avia 156
If your AP Heading Selector and Pitch Trim are not working in these aircraft, replace your [autopilot] section in the aircraft.cfg with the following:
In the aircraft.cfg, replace the complete [Autopilot] section with the following:
[autopilot]
autopilot_available = 1
flight_director_available = 0
default_vertical_speed = 820
autothrottle_available = 0
autothrottle_arming_required = 0
autothrottle_takeoff_ga = 0
autothrottle_max_rpm = 90
pitch_takeoff_ga = 8
default_pitch_mode =1
default_bank_mode =2
max_pitch = 10
max_pitch_acceleration = 1
max_pitch_velocity_lo_alt = 2
max_pitch_velocity_hi_alt = 1.5
max_pitch_velocity_lo_alt_breakpoint = 20000
max_pitch_velocity_hi_alt_breakpoint = 28000
max_bank= 25
max_bank_acceleration = 1.8
max_bank_velocity = 3
max_throttle_rate = 0.1
nav_proportional_control = 9
nav_integrator_control = 0.25
nav_derivative_control = 0
nav_integrator_boundary = 2.5
nav_derivative_boundary = 0
gs_proportional_control = 9.52
gs_integrator_control = 0.26
gs_derivative_control = 0
gs_integrator_boundary = 0.7
gs_derivative_boundary = 0
yaw_damper_gain = 0

Thank you
EDIT: Replaced the section above on Feb 27 to correct default pitch and bank statements to these:
default_pitch_mode =1
default_bank_mode =2

The AP has been driving me bonkers on these radios. I finally got it sorted out.
I did not know after all these years that there is a model 2 in these statements.
Anyhow, the pitch and heading adjustments work for me now.
If you need that to work for you, copy the AP section above and replace yours in the aircraft.cfg for both the Avia 51 and 156.

The Avia 56 - Coming Soon
The Avia 56 is what the Avia 156 was intended to be. The Rr-29 engine could not quite pass muster for a passenger aircraft so the "56" was modified to accommodate the 12 cylinder liquid cooled engine of the same HP, and the "156" was born.
So, this is the original design targeted to prospective customers ... more on that later from Nigel.
For now, some sneak peaks ...

Excellent work Milton! Nigels skins are wonderful! Thanks to you both for a great model.

Avia 56
One of the reasons for the still very rural appearance of Cheb Airport has been the evolution of this classical masterpiece of an aircraft.
So my apologies to those patiently awaiting the Scenery-Traffic part of the Avia Project.
However, the addition of the Avia 56 to our growing fleet will provide a welcome element to the scenery/package too.
That big radial fan up front that Milton describes, has been the culprit of numerous sleepless nights for me.
The Chief pulled it off once again when he engineered this powerhouse onto that already beautiful airframe.
The resulting aeroplane is a revelation in flyabilty and lends itself to a wide range of applications, both civil and military.
The four paint-schemes, hopefully reflect the potential markets the designer would have considered
when embarking on the '56 specification.

OK - PAF was a Czech Police Airfoce registered aircraft, based at Cheb until late 1938.
This is an aviation mystery in itself - it is now known that the same registration was applied to three separate aircraft.
Only one of these can be identified regarding aircraft type.

We've represented the military with two versions:
M-12 depicts an advanced trainer/conversion model used by the 3rd Air Regiment Training Squadron (Vajnory AB)
G-8 marks an aircraft belonging to 6 Squadron (Reconnaissance) belonging to the 1st Air Regiment (Milovice).

Our civil version brings to life a more up-to-date use for those wishing to do some luxury summer island-hopping...
...well you know where!
...and yes, it's served ice-cold, on the 'HOUSE' for all of you!

John must take the credit he deserves for his painstaking research on Czech military aircraft of the period.
His diligent work on Squadron / Unit markings was instrumental in getting this show airworthy.
I also thank you John for the heartening encouragement you have given all along.
That's awesome input Sir!
Magoo, you don't stand alone with your comparison - the Norseman is a firm favourite of mine also.
If you're a Noorduyn fan, search no further: The Avia does all the Norseman routine, sounds strikingly similar and flies...
Put it this way; If I were an airshow pilot looking to impress crowds with a sparkling routine - this would top my list!
...but I'm not!
Where I fly, whether it be the mountainous areas of New Zealand (G'day Pete, Wing Z!), hugging mediterranean coastlines trying to catch up with my buddy Matt, or bushflying salmon fishing trips in Canada or Alaska; the only audience likely to be watching, are mischievous flocks of Kea, over-raucus cicada or North American brown bears.
None are interested in aviation in general, or my hilarious attempts at stylish flying in particular!
A few more shots to satisfy the curiosity ...

Thank you Sir for graciously covering my failure to successfully post my first attachments.
Hey Rob! Great to see you around. Glad you like the paint.
Thank you Nigel; great shots!

Thankyou Moses - she's a great pleasure to work on, I'm sure you'll love her handling too.
Awesome is an understatement.
...but from what I understand, you were instrumental in the birth of the entire Avia project.
Great initiative Moses!

Okay Magoo; now you've done it! British Columbia and Alaska, I miss them immensely. So, Nigel and I have conspired with some of the locals here in Cheb to rig us up for a fishing trip ... yup!
We're off for a little retreat in BC for a spell. Catchyall later!
