Zebras Peshka Flying Tips

[Monostripezebra]

I´m starting a bit of a series... no spectactular news, but just some things to remember if you want to have fun with the Peshka.

 

 

It starts with the typical: "Oh, my control surfaces have left me... what am I going to do now?!?"-question, which kind of translates to "what is an emergency, and what is not?"

so, to recap: don´t panik, any peshka with half an elevator and two running engines is still flyable and perfectly controlable. The only real emergencies that force you to consider another landing area or an bailout are those 5:

 

a) loss of all Elevator -> Required Action: Bailout

b) Loss of a full Wing -> Required Action: Bailout

c) Engine Loss -> Get aircraft as clean as possible (shut dead engine radiator flaps, set it´s prop pitch to 0%) and head to nearest friendly airfield.

d) Fire -> Verify type of fire: Engine fires can be put out, by diving and shutting that engine down, fuel tank fires require a bailout action

e) Loss of All Fuel -> establish best landing ground, put plane to max clean configuration (all radiators shut, gear up, flaps up, prop pitch both 0%) 

 

 

 

For experimental purposes, the procedure to replicate loss of control surfaces is as follows:

initiate a 45° dive, full power, no flaps, no airbrakes from at least 3000m.  Deploy airbrakes at around/shortly before 800 km/h and pull out.

Thanks for the tips. I need to get reacquainted with the Peshka.
