Sunderland Flying Boat – Ansett

Written by Vulcan. Posted in Commercial Piston Engined

A Short Sunderland Flying boat VH-BRC of Ansett.  The Sunderland was used for operation by Ansett airlines from Rose Bay Sydney to Lord Howe Island. The aircraft had a top speed of 210 mph (336 kph) and an all up weight of 26332 kg.

For the model, the propellors are constant speed, simulated blades.  It operates on invisible track 3 metres above water level. The Aircraft Action Trigger, kuid:76656:24050 when placed on track and set to trigger number 4 setting, will issue water spray and sound from the floats on landing.

The aircraft will load or unload passengers at my City Cat landings. A new track further from the dock has been added to the landing models for this aircraft.

The model is based on the original mesh by Dreddmann, used with permission.
