About This File
X-Plane 8 And 9 FRED. FRED stands for Flying Runabout Experimental Device. With its 44 hp car motor moving this 800 pound, 16 foot long plane, FRED will not break speed records. It cruises at 62 knots at 2900 rpm. This ultralight is very basic both in design and in instrumentation but is also easy and fun to fly provided you are not planing a 1000 miles trip. Thanks to Dataroots for the custom sound files and to scooter for the original pilot figure. By Jacques Brault.
