A few more Miles behind us :)

Post by DispatchDragon »

David Molyneaux's latest gift will be up at Classic British Files this weekend.

He has produced another Miles nee P&P aircraft - the Whitney Straight but with a twist
its a twofer - he also modeled the Miles Monarch basically a three seat Straight.
This time They have been beta tested both in FS9 and FSX so it will port easily
with the usual caveats

David;s little group of Miles Builders are Brian Horsey Flight Model, Peter Watkins extra paints
Don Putnam - sound and a couple of out of work Virtual Airline pilots who ha d a ball flying it.
And thanks to Peter at the Miles preservation folks who provided alot of data for the aeroplane.

Here are some shots - scuse the slight jaggies - I think my processor is about ready to
give up the ghost

The Whitney Straight departing from Old Warden

The VC is common to both aircraft

The Door hinge (One of the ways to qucikly tell the Whitney Straight from the Monarch is
which side the single door is located The Whitney straight door is on the Left side

Image

Yes it flies as good as it looks - Perfect for those VFR low and slow flights

Image

Monarch panel in 2D the only way to tell the difference is read the makers plate on the bottom right
of the Panel

A little evening formation work at the Shuttleworth
