Born in a hanger in Glendale California, USA, the Pasped aircraft company produced its first and only ‘W-1’ Skylark, a beautiful and sleek, radial powered 2 seater aircraft that they had hoped would be both an executive business mans airplane as well as perhaps a future fighter pilot training aircraft. From the 1930’s, the Skylark came to be….
This aircraft features a 125 HP Warner Scarab, giving it cruise speed of 124 MPH and a top end speed of 140 MPH. The aircraft was so lite and large, that it was able to do STOL landings of approximately 35 MPH. The design featured a flap panel located under the belly of the plane that retracted via an electric motor and acted more like a dive brake or air-brake, rather then a low-flight lift enhancing flight surface.
This package features 8 paint schemes, several colors of panels, a loud and unique radial engine sound pack. The aircraft package features rain effects on the plexi, lighting effects, sound effects from flight controls, and even features a auto-pilot for those who like to look around at scenery while in a flight.
If you like classic old planes, this one is radical. Its like a sportster version of a Staggerwing Beech with giant wheel spats. This even featured car doors as well as a slide back canopy for open air flight. A sleek, nastalgic plane of the golden age of aviation.
