Oeffag D.III update informations

[lucas]

"Some finest Austro-Hungarian test pilots appeared today in the Oeffag factory in Wiener-Neustadt to test the new possibilites of their newest scout plane. Some say, she received some tuning and adjustments. The pilots are looking forward to test the plane during the next weeks"

Great news, thanks!

The testing results are very promising. The pilots are satisfied with the new ASI gauge installed on the prototype. Also, the slightly changed airframe led the plane to have slightly different behaviour than before. Test pilots noticed spins, different reaction from the controls. A new propeller has been installed as well. Soon, the engineers at Oeffag will equip the prototype with a special device allowing the pilot to take some rest during the flight and to fly with the hands off for a while

Sounds promising. Maybe the flight model will be better suited for both aerobatics and regular flying then.

Autopilot?

No, you will be able to lock the stick in the desired position, just like it was in some German-constructed WW1 scouts. It will work both as a kind of simple autopilot or trim
