Downwind66 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Rick, there are dozen's of Howard liveries! :cool: Jan - In going thru downloading these bad boys, come to find out, they say that the Howard is almost a carbon copy of the Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon? I wonder how that relationship started? I'll see if can't find more scoop on that little tidbit! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zswobbie1 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Here we go.. from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_500 During the 1950s and '60s, Howard Aero Inc had been remanufacturing military surplus Lockheed Lodestars and Lockheed Venturas for the executive market. While the Howard 500 bore a strong resemblance to these aircraft, it was a substantially new design, and all 500s had completely new fuselages. The only major components taken directly from its Lockheed forebears were the outer wing panels (from surplus Venturas) and undercarriage (from Harpoons). Howard purchased wing and fuselage jigs from Lockheed to use as patterns for jigs for the new aircraft. The fuselage differed from the Ventura's in being designed from the outset for pressurisation, and the wings were designed wet. The pressurisation system maintained a differential of 46.5 kilopascals (6.75 psi) which was greater than any other prop or turboprop executive aircraft on the market at the time and maintained a sea level cabin pressure at up to 16,000 feet (4,900 m).[1] The engine chosen was a new, higher-power and lighter-weight version of the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 that had been developed for the Douglas DC-6. Propeller hubs were taken from F4U Corsairs, four-blade propellers and spinners from DC-7s. The spacious interior of N500HP an executive Howard 500 The Howard 500 could accommodate 10 to 14 passengers with a large window for each. Increased fuel tankage over the PV-2 Ventura gave a maximum range with full reserves of 2,600 miles (4,200 km). Maximum cruising speed was 350 mph (300 kn; 560 km/h) at 21,000 feet (6,400 m). This exceptional performance for a piston engined executive aircraft unfortunately came just as the competing turbo prop designs were coming to the market, and this restricted sales of the type. The prototype flew in September 1959,[2] and certification was achieved on February 20, 1963.[2] By this time, however, the executive market was already dominated by turboprop aircraft, and although its performance was comparable to (or even better than) these new machines, and its price substantially lower, the Howard 500 could not effectively penetrate the market.[citation needed] 22 Howard 500s were produced initially, with a further eight being converted from earlier PV-2s to virtually the same standard.[3] Also look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Mark_Marksman YES, we have this as well from Milton..

Downwind66 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Rick, try the Beech 18D. :cool::cool::cool: I was first officer in the Howard btw. Okay, Jan, here's the Beech D18, file d18svc4.zip, in case anyone out there wants it. This is Milton's base aircraft for the D18. There are many repaints which can be had for this file, which I will probably download 1 or 2? This is a very nice download, panel was missing one gauge and broken glass on another one. I borrowed a panel from my DC-3 which works just fine in it. Not as fun as flying the Howard, but it is a keeper! [ATTACH=CONFIG]205148[/ATTACH] I got you about being the first officer, I'll go back and check that out. He did look a little joyful, maybe spent some time at the scene of the beer truck accident? Jim is still waiting on his beer! :rolleyes: Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
