Dust blown off the Herald fleet

Post by **RAF_Quantum** » 02 Aug 2006, 10:54

Hi Guys,

Ben watson has bit the bullet and dragged one of the Herald out of storage to complete the first CBFS HP7 Herald scheduled flight. Using G-BEZB (wonder if thats short for Beelzebub, devil if I know

) Ben flew the sector CBF7589 from Edinburgh to Leeds-Bradford with a total of 56 passengers onboard. Hopefully Ben will give us a flight report and any tweaks he has done for the aircraft.

Well done Ben.

Well done Ben

She is a bit of a handful.

It was quite late last night so I'll do some more work tonight and make some notes. The model is un tweeked as I wouldn't know where to start. Maybe Fraser or Rick would have some ideas as how I should modify the aircraft.cfg? :think:

Hi Ben

I can't do much as my "Dedicated" team of testers have b***ered off to play VAs

Subtle as a kick up the bottom

Regards
Rick

No worries Rick. I do love the herald, so I'll fly her anyway.

Hi Ben

Basically the 748 FDE needs porting over and adjusting.

trouble with that comes the "My engines keep stopping"

but it shouldn't take too much to do.

Regards
Rick

I'm sure you will get willing volunteers to help out with flight testing

. We've got a fleet and route network ready and waiting.
