– FS2002 Corby CJ-1 Starlet


FS2002 Corby CJ-1 Starlet. The John Corby designed CJ-1 Starlet was Australia’s first certified homebuilt design. This nimble little aircraft is powered by the venerable Volkswagon “Flat Four” air cooled car engine (which originally was an aero engine in the 1930’s) from the famous Beetle and Combi van converted to aeronautical standards (capacity ranging from 1.8l to 2.2l). The Starlet is semi aerobatic and is stressed to +-4.5G. Other noteable features of the Starlet are a cruise speed of 120 knots IAS and a climb rate of 1000 feet/minute all on 75 hp. The model has been designed from the “ground up” using FSDS version 2.11. The model features the now usual moving parts, texture reflections and dynamic shine. The model also features a full dynamic virtual cockpit (DVC) and comes in three flavors: the first model is one that has a full canopy and wheel spats, the second has the full canopy and no wheel spats and finally the third model features only the windshield and no wheel spats. The flight dynamics have been constructed by the use of the 1% spreadsheets (v2.82.98). By David Friswell.
