Lionheart Creations Pasped Skylark MSFS

The Skylark W-1 was a low wing, single engined monoplane designed in the 1930s which first flew in 1935 in Glendale, California. The aircraft was quite rare for its day. Its primary focus was to be a trainer for the Air Corps of the United States but, as a secondary use, a small two-seater business liner which had gained high popularity back in the golden age of aviation, where wealthy business people could get around faster and safer by plane than by car.

The design of the Skylark used bracings (like struts) on both the wings and the landing gear. Another wild feature of this rare design was that she had normal automotive-style doors that hinged open as well as a sliding canopy on top, which allowed you to fly with the roof open or closed.

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 light 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 airbrake, rather then a low-flight lift-enhancing flight surface.

This package features eight paint schemes, several panel colours and 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 an autopilot for those who like to look around at scenery while in a flight.  

If you like classic old planes, this one is radical. It's like a sportster version of a Staggerwing Beech with giant wheel spats - a sleek, nostalgic plane from the golden age of aviation!
