The other Q6 Petrel

Post by Dev One »

Uploaded to www.britsim.com is my other retractable undercart version (P16d) of the Percival Q6 Petrel. Its shown in its WWII guise as HK838 (ex G-AFMV) & has a contemporary radio fit of a TR1143 & a R1155 & DF Loop, with kind permission of Uncle Ted, his Beam Approach meter.
Only 4 were built, with G-AFIX reportedly returned to a fixed undercart. There is a reworked & simplified FDE & one can remove/add passengers to change the C of G & it hence changes it flying characteristics a bit accordingly.
Happy landings
Keith
