Stephen Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Classic Aircraft Review : Let L-200D Morava by PWDT&NHAdrian Lots of time you wander around an airfield or museum and you see an aircraft... It sorta looks familiar, but at the same time it doesn't look like anything you know about all the certain types of aircraft, it is an oddity and In most cases it is usually an Eastern-Bloc or Russian in design. The Ruskies had looked at a western aircraft design, took the basics and then built it into their own design paradigm. So the design looks the same but in reality it is a copy of the real thing. Some Eastern-Bloc designers take another angle, as they look at current aircraft designs and mesh them together to create a sort of hybrid aircraft, and one that looks like one aircraft design but is in reality many aircraft in cohesion, again it is an oddity. So your first view of the Let L-200D Morava reminds you of all of these sort of elements at work... It certainly does not look like a western design, and areas like the spread twin-tail arrangement, there is even a bit of World War Two look about it or even an early Lockheed aircraft. But the lovely smooth shaped cabin is from another era, the jet aircraft era... Twin-engined, tri-cycle landing gear, and large wing-tip fuel tanks, lovely machine, but it all looks a bit odd with all these different elements at play. The Let L-200 Morava is a retractable four seat light twin, that was one of the few light aircraft to be exported to the west from behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War era, albeit in small numbers. Ladislav Smrek of the Czechoslovakian State Aircraft Factory (Let) designed the L-200 in the mid 1950s to develop a replacement for the very successful early postwar vintage Aero 45 and 145 light twins. His resulting design is similar in many ways to its contemporary western twins, with a four or five seater cabin, a low wing, wingtip tanks, metal construction and retractable undercarriage. However the Morava is highly distinguishable by its twin tails, standard thermal wing deicing equipment and inverted inline engines. This excellent Let L-200 Morava aircraft for the X-Plane Simulator is by developers Pannon Wings Design Team (PWDT) and NH Adrian, in having already developed a Zlin Z-142, a Yak 18T, also done a C152 Mod and also created the ASK21 in freeware, their latest is probably their most ambitious project yet with the iconic Let L-200D Morava which is their first payware aircraft. First impressions count a lot, the look and feel of the aircraft (certainly a vintage or classic aircraft) can set the tone not only for the way you like the aircraft but how it also comes through in the review... In this case it is exceptional, not totally perfect as nothing ever is, but you know there has been a lot of love and time spent on creating and bringing this particular machine to life. Realism is the key... I know, the two words I write consistently in reviews are usually "realism" and "authentic", sometimes these comments are even overused, but that is ultimate goal we are all aiming for, in that real world look and authenticity. We will take the excellent canvas cover off and look at the aircraft under it. Lovely cabin shape isn't it, there is some great modeling work here, and look at those unusual blue side windows, and yes they are real, and I am showing my age in remembering them. The intricate work is a nice feast on the eyes everywhere you look as there is some great detailed elements... Overall many designs can look very good, but the differential in the higher quality stakes goes into the intimate details, any developer can do a nice fuselage and wings, but it is in the details that really count. Detailed instances around the engines are quite spectacular, note the propeller installation with detailed filament, noted highly shaped engine inlet(s) and excellent detailed exhaust with securing circlip... ... propellers are fully animated in pitch and feather modes, panel screws are nice work, with slight wear rust. Aileron control rods are also animated and are beautifully recreated. All the wing construction is perfectly realised, gaps between the panels and perfect rows of rivets to hold them all in place, you totally feel this aircraft and not just look at the details. Aerodynamic wingtip tanks are also beautiful to the eyes, note the detailed lower drain panel, excellent modeling. As a throwback to another era, those twin-tails are simply gorgeous, with its built in fine lateral trim tabs and left horizontal trim tab on that wide elevator. All mapping is excellent to bring out the surfaces and the strengthening ribbing down and around the fuselage, lovely stuff to feast on. I really love the shape of this cabin, so teardrop and even 50's jet in shape and design... Intimate design is very evident, with lovely handholds and the flush door latch.. that actually works. Highly visual is the inserted left screen access window (yes it opens as well). Single (left) wiper and right side gauge are again highly visible, GA 35 GPS Antenna for the Garmin avionics is also very authentic, and again beautifully done. All the cockpit glass is excellent, thick and reflective... there is also a glass feature that builds up dirt and bugs on the screen, from clear to dirty (adjustable) The flies and dirt also collects on the engine intakes and the wings leading edges. There is another detailed "King" antenna on the lower fuselage, and the tail skid and higher rear wing brackets are all again excellent detail. The main trailing link landing gear sits (very) very close to the ground underside of each of the engine pods, so it is quite hard to see them, but the link and strut detail is again first rate, worn and and very realistic, the correct era tyres are also very, very good, inside gear bay door looks modeled, but it is an image, but a very good and realistic one at that... .... the gear highlight is that extraordinary single nose wheel structure and assembly, incredibly realistic and expertly recreated, yes it is worth a few moments of your attention to take in all the excellent work done here. Nose wheel tyre is unusual in that it has a concave tread structure. There is so much detail to absorb on this aircraft, fair and good kudos to the developers on their attention to absolute detail. Before for we inspect the cabin, lets see the features presented externally. Only a few of these features are accessed by the menu, as most of the items (or actions) are accessed directly by touch, but notably only from the internal view and not from the external view, so if you want a closer look you have to move internally to the external view manually.... Touch the rear mains tyres for wheel chocks (very nice) and the pitot left wing for a pitot cover... touching the rear right side engine will give you a Battery pack ground power unit. The most exciting feature is in touching the engine panels... they open to reveal an extremely detailed Walter M337 (Avia M 337) air-cooled six-cylinder straight engine of 160 kW (210 hp) each. Opening the engine cowls will also make a beta work trolley and cones appear.... sensational work, no doubt. Another access point are the fuel tanks... Open the tank flap on the wing (each wing) and turn off the fuel cap, and it springs up to reveal a fuel gauge. You can set the amount of fuel you want into each tank by moving a pair of arrows up or down the gauge (There is the choice of Imperial or Metric quantities), the same can be done on each of the wing tanks and the cap (filler), the detail is again extraordinary. More features include a propeller spinner (required to start the engines)... touch the prop and it will turn (cold turn) to remove the accumulated oil known as "Hydrolock" or hydraulic lock, you have to turn each prop 10 times, it can be done via the pilot's seat. You can also move the aircraft around engines off on the ground... select the puller via touching the nosewheel, then move the aircraft via moving your mouse in the direction you want to go. Both cabin doors can be opened by the external latches or internal door levers... The extremely realistic cabin cover is toggled via the second screw on the inner door (that was not mentioned in the manual, and yes I lost a precious whole 15 minutes of my valuable life looking for the damn hot spot!) First view of the cabin shows the aircraft's age, it has a sort of Carenado heavy detailed heavy feel about the space, the same sort of materials and details, but done very well here... A nice blue and tan trim is expertly done, with great seat patterns and lovely well shaped seats, with a sort of huge lounge room couch for the rear, the seatbelt detail is also expertly and casually done... The main switchgear is mounted on the roof, with two headsets for both the pilot and co-pilot. It is the feel of the space that is interesting to convey here, great authenticity to the eastern-bloc feel but also to the western influences injected in there... two worlds in one, that it works so well in feel is a credit to the developers and their extreme focus on the detailing. The quality of the era fittings is really outstanding, like mentioned you don't just look at the items but feel the era around you, it must be amazing in VR. Pressing/selecting the map in the left door lower pocket will bring up the X-Plane Local Map. Menu The menu book is positioned under the instrument panel on the left side... hard to again find and only noted as the "setup-sheet" in the manual... it pops up VR-Virtual Reality style in front of you to the right. Left page is your setup (options) and on the right side is the checklist... Top left is the "Aircraft Properties", with Fuel "Metric" or "Imperial", AviTab, Instrument reflections, Static Elements (chocks and pitot cover), then the interesting "Dirtyness" slider. You get dirty speckles on the windscreen and the leading wing edges, very nice, but I expected more "Dirtyness" dirty than this to be honest? but still a nice to have feature. Then a choice of Cockpit Language with; Hungarian, English and Czech available (changes text details). Here is English and Czech. Like the non-direction of the aircraft canvas cover hot-spot... the menu has another quirk as well? There are the Master Volume and Field of View sliders, but they appear blank with no adjustment knobs? As is also the lower small Weight & Balance setup sliders... top includes Pilot, Co-Pilot, and a Passenger (child)... finally is baggage weight and all of these sliders are blanked out as well? The trick is to select the Pilot, tickbox... then all the sliders appear for use. A great feature to close up the aircraft to allow the aircraft to be nicely completely empty and parked up, but annoying as well if you don't how it works? (and no it is not mentioned in the manual... again). Selecting the Pilots and passenger puts very nicely created people in the aircraft, the Co-Pilot is animated as is the girl in the rear seat... ... weights of each are shown with two bags put in the baggage locker rear left side... again the hot-spot can be hard to find to open the locker door (Baggage weight is restricted if you have a passenger in the rear selected). Finally are the fuel tanks were you can set (as well as the external way) the fuel quantities of the inner and wingtip tanks, full capacity is 103 Gal (389 lt). The CG (Centre of Gravity) is shown (MAC), and the total weight (Gross) of the aircraft loaded. Left side is a basic but an easy to use checklist. Instrument Panel The instrument panel is not the most ergonomic layout for the ease of use, but then what was 60 years ago... The main upper panel is generally well laid out, but the lower area resembles a WW2 era twin-engined bomber layout with all the multiple levers. The really nice styled yokes are again beautifully rendered and feel authentic to the era, and both (not individually) can be hidden by pressing the centre button brings up the X-Plane ATC panel! Sitting left in front of the panel there a bit of claustrophobia with the very large LUN 1222 Whiskey Compass jutting out above the panel, and the restricting view of the access window (again the internal access window detailing and animation is excellent). The panel is mostly flying instruments left and aircraft operating dials and gauges right, there are no flying instruments for the Co-Pilot... except an odd altitude dial. Dead centre in front of the Pilot is an LUN 1202 Artificial Horizon (noted incorrectly in the manual as a Attitude Indicator?) It has two knobs for (left) an horizon marker of which can be adjusted, and right a Cage knob noted A and brings up a red flag A in the instrument. Also note the Sky and Ground colours are reversed here or upside down on the AH. Below is the Bendix-King KL-525A HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator), the HSI has a built-in ILS indicator, but to note as it is a guide only, as there is no Autopilot or APP function on the aircraft. To the left of AH is a Variometer or Vertical Speed indicator, far left is a Airspeed indicator in both metric and Imperial speeds, still on the far left lower is an Altimeter (ft), and to it's right is a LUN 1213-8 Slip indicator. Right of the centre is top a Bendix-King KI203 Course Deviation Indicator (CDI). Below the CDI is a Bendix-King KI 229 ADF pointer, and that pretty well covers the main flight instruments. Top of the panel is a LUN 1694 landing gear indicator (very nice) and next to it is a Bendix-King KDI-574 DME panel, then a LUN 1685 Flap Indicator dial 0º-15º-30º degree settings, but the flap setting is actually variable... Two more instruments make up the rest of the left side panel with top right a really lovely ACS-Stopwatch (timer) and clock, and it is fully workable, and below LUN 1315 RPM Twin-engine indicator. Centre panel lower is the standard Garmin GNS 430 GPS unit. The RealityXP GNS430 v2 is also supported in the same slot if you have that payware addon. Right side of the instrument panel covers the aircraft's systems in gauges and dials. Starting top is a LUN 2741 Volt/Amper indicator, then a row of four gauges covers (LtoR); a MV 18M Manifold Pressure gauge (both engines), then a LUN 1394 Cylinder Head Temperature gauges unit, then a Fuel Quantity left side (inner-top and wingtip-lower), and finally the same Fuel Quantity setup on the right side. Lower row is the both left the engines parameters in Temperatures ºC and Pressure. Right two gauges cover left the (Engine) Heating ºC temps and far right is another Altimeter, but oddly in km. I do like the layout, but you need to study it to know which gauge is which, in that most detailed text is in Czech. The lower left panel is a busy place. First to note the way that the button switches work in here, larger bottom button is the activate button, and the smaller button above it then deactivates the button by clicking it out again, yes I have used this style of switchgear, but again showing my age, but the system is really well done here for authenticity. Far left are the two ignition switches (buttons), then a standard Bendix-King KMA 24 Audio panel, and below is a Bendix-King KX-155 radio (NAV2/VOR2). Next centre is a really nice authentic Landing Gear and Flap lever panel and below is a six pack of switch buttons... A note currently on the six-pack buttons, as they are set the WRONG way around? OUT for active and IN for off, very confusing? They will be fixed in the first update. Next is the Feather/Propeller indicator (green light is feathered). Two dials now cover; MA-100 Hydraulic Pressure top and the MG-60 Brake Pressure bottom, note the nice three diamond warning lights for the left and right Generators. The left lower panel is more simple, with centre top a Bendix-King KT 76A Transponder, and below a Bendix-King KR 87TSO ADF receiver, there are a few circuit breakers (fuses) far right but they are not active. The monster mash of levers on the centre console can be at first a bit confusing, but in reality it is simply to operate. Blue levers are the two Propeller (Prop) levers (LandR), and the tall black ones are the twin throttle levers, and the right twin light tan levers are the Mixture levers. The outer red levers are the Fuel selection and closed valves levers, the rest are engine cooling and air vent levers. Between the front seats is another collection of levers and knobs... dominating is the large Hydraulic pump lever, then the Parking Brake lever and Emergency Release lever for the landing gear and flaps. Rear right is the propeller de-ice regulator knob with the rudder trim on the left, forward is the lovely Elevator Trim wheel with the amazing green trim diamond lights for noting the neutral position... rear are left and right engine fire extinguisher levers. There are two headsets hanging from the overhead switchgear panel. One is clickable to dilute the sounds, the other moves to the Co-Pilot when he is selected.... The switches are really well modeled and are nice to use, top row covers cockpit and external lighting, comm and XPDR (Transponder) and De-Icing. Centre row are the engine switches and the bottom row are the main electrical switches. Forward are two dropdown instrument panel lights. The AviTab Plugin is available in Morava. It is installed very nicely on the centre of the left Yoke, handy and easily used, and a bit of modernity in a classic aircraft. Flying the Let 200D Morava The Morava is basically a ritual aircraft, as you have to do certain procedures repeatably to get the aircraft into the air and keep it there. First is the interesting hydraulic pressure system.. it is manual. To do even simple things like setting the parking brake or using the landing gear, then you have to build up hydraulic pressure in the lines. This is done via the lever between the seats, and the pressure is shown on the lower mid-panel gauge. First you have to set the parking brake lever to "Parking" or the centre position (if not the hydraulic pressure in the system won't work, then click the centre handle to pump up the pressure as shown on the centre lower gauge... You will need to pump above the 40 kgs/sm2 line and then switch the packing brake lever to "Fixed" (or Park) to contain the pressure in the system... ... if not the hydraulic pressure will fall back to zero, if correct it should hold the hydraulic pressure at the 40 kgs/sm2 point, easy... no. Next is starting the twin Walter M337's. Setting the levers correctly is important, and note the turn bar (arrowed below left) on the Prop levers, so you can't feather the props by mistake, a nice touch. Turn the prop x 10, which can be done via the internal view, then prime the pumps (turn them on) and hit the the starter... The M337's are not the easiest engines to start, but finally the engine will blaze into life... then start the procedure all over again to start engine 2. Although the manual is very nicely detailed, it is a bit lukewarm as well... aircraft like this Let need very detailed instructions on how to do these complex procedures correctly, some bits are there, but a lot of the needed required detail here is seriously missing? which can be very frustrating if you are new to the aircraft. Once the engines are running, you need to wait while the fluids hot up and the systems settle down, but the Let L-200D feels extremely Alive, it is an excellent place to be in control in here. Note the red diamond warning lights for the generators (arrowed above), they will stay on until the engines get more power. Sounds are excellent, the external engine noise is extremely high compared to the internal, but note if you have the pilot's headset hung up on it's bracket, if not it is almost impossible to hear the internal sounds... by default the headset is on the pilot's head! There is a really low vibration grunt from these gutsy engines, and they sound brilliantly from the pilot's seat. A bit of throttle and the L-200D will pull away with a nice weighty feel. Taxiing is slightly tricky as the protruding front nosewheel will weave around quite easily, the trick is to keep your taxi speed low and steady... god I really love those mechanical piston throbbing engine sounds Like most things you can set the flap postion anywhere you want it, but it is a bit of a trick to do so, in one click down and a quick click up again to hold the degree position you want, here I have set a 9º flap. If you want to again use the parking brake, yes you have to pump up the pressure and click the parking brake lever twice just to hold your position. Throttles up and your moving... it is best to give far, far more throttle to the right engine than the left to keep the L-200D in a straight line down the centre of the runway and avoid the massive asymmetrical thrust to the left... it can be seen here on the RPM gauge (both indicators are on the same dial), however you can easily find the right RPM feel to go straight. Takeoff sounds are fantastic... noisy ground vibrations, wind and high engine sounds create a cacophony of realism, then around 90 knts you can pull back on the yoke and leave the runway, quickly pushing up the left throttle to match out the right for more thrust. Can something as simple as putting up the gear become a massive headache... well in my early case yes? The Let uses the same systems as most Eastern-Bloc aircraft in that engine pumps keep the pressure solid in the lines to operate the gear and the flaps, so when you use one system or the other you have to seal the valves again by putting the lever back mid-way to the centre, easy yes... no The problem can be caused by your angle of view... what is the actual centre point for the levers? The left image below looks like the levers are correct and centred, but the valve centre right (arrowed) is actually open... So the levers look in the down position, even if they are actually centred as there are no centering markings on the panel, however set here the valve is now closed. A trick is to use the set gear (toggle) G command to centre the gear handle, the flaps can be centred by using the opposite selection to reset the lever (meaning if you switch down the flaps, then switch up directly again to centre, and vise-versa via key commands). The rate of climb is 6.4 m/s (1,260 ft/min), and so climbing around 1,000 ft/min is about perfect. The Morava is simply a sensational aircraft to fly... but you will need your expert flying skills in setting up the aircraft trims perfectly, as once leveled out you need to find that sweet central balance between both the pitch and rudder trims to set the aircraft up naturally, it needs to be perfect as there is no autopilot to take over the reins. So the trick is to find that perfect neutral balance and use your yoke for just the minor corrections to keep a straight flight line, this is essential over a long distance, if not the L-200D will tire you out with it's consistent corrections to both the rudder and the yoke.... basic flying stuff, but really essential here. Maximum speed of the Let is 290 km/h (180 mph, 160 kn) at sea level, Cruise speed is around 256 km/h (159 mph, 138 kn) at 2,500 m (8,200 ft) (known as econ cruise), the Range is a respectable 1,710 km (1,060 mi, 920 nmi) and the Service ceiling: 5,700 m (18,700 ft) Up to now the sounds have been exemplary, but in a stable cruise... you only get an odd rushing wind noise in the cockpit? (the pilot's headset is hung up on the bracket, so it is not the hiding any of those sounds?) to be honest it is really annoying in that it disconnects you from the aircraft, from the reality and no engine noises... and I don't like it at all? On trying the gear lever (down) and the gear extended, I was not going to throw a gift landing away, so I turned straight around and headed back to Bristol Airport, I also put on full flap to slow the speed and headed straight for Rwy 27... The L-200D will easily fly very nicely at around 80 knts full 30º flap (note the variable adjustment). The double twin-rudders and the huge whale tail of elevator gives the L-200D a tail control feel, you love the flying and amazing control you have over the aircraft, and even a strong cross-wind can be controlled and focused more here, as any other aircraft would be crabbing far more right in this stiff breeze. 70 knts is your descending approach speed, throttle control is excellent in height and descent adjustment, but to note the X-Plane "Experimental flight model" has to be OFF here. Gradually reduce the throttle, but be careful not to pitch the nose too high... speed is critical on approach, come in too fast and the Morava will weave when down, but fly in too slow and you get a nasty nose up approach, so you have to find that small sweet spot in the middle and closer to the 65 knt mark... ... down and speed rubs off nicely, but you will need to get the power down quickly and evenly. There is no doubt about the exceptional feel of this aircraft, every limb is working to feel the controls and fly the aircraft the best way possible, and the feedback is excellent, one thing the developers really got right here was the feel and control of the aircraft... it is quite outstanding in that respect. oh... and the internal engine sounds came back on approach? Lighting Like the aircraft the lighting is quirky? The main panel lighting is great, but the main flying instruments are actually completely dark... very odd? for as old Russian instruments have illuminescence paint that glows in the dark, but only lighting the actual needles and not the whole dials... so it is authentic but very hard to read in the dark. There are however two above vivid bright red drop down spot-lights, but they overwhelm the instrument panel so completely it would be hard to fly the aircraft in this state, but this what you have to use on approach if you want to read the main flying instruments?... In the rear there is a single overhead light. External lighting has an upper landing light in the nose globe housing, and a lower strut light that shines through the undercarriage front panel... very nice. The rest are the standard navigation lights and a beacon under the cabin and set to the left. Liveries There are four liveries and blank white. All are very good, but you feel there should be a couple more at least. G-ARYJ is default. Summary The Let L-200D Morava was one of the few light aircraft to be exported to the west from behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War era, albeit in small numbers and was built in the Czechoslovakian State Aircraft Factory LET in the late 60's. The L-200D is a Twin-Engined four or five seater cabin aircraft, in a low wing with wingtip tanks complete with a metal construction and retractable undercarriage. However the Morava is highly distinguishable by its twin tail configuration. The developers are the Pannon Wings Design Team (PWDT) and NH Adrian, in having both parties already developed a Zlin Z-142, a Yak 18T, also done a C152 Mod and also created the ASK21 in freeware, so they are Eastern-Bloc aircraft specialists, this is their first payware. The quality and detail in the L-200D is extraordinary, it is no doubt a labour of love attention to detail of the era. Quirky sums it up in the way the aircraft is and also in the way you access and fly the machine. Modeling is excellent, with great detailing and attention to even the smallest details, it feels and it is a vintage aircraft, but in a modern sense as well, if that makes sense. Features are outstanding, but again all are very much hands on to activate. Opening doors and baggage locker, opening engine cowls with detailed Walter M337 (Avia M 337) engines, Beta trolleys, opening fuel caps and fuel settings, turning propellers, push/pull bar, opening access window and a lovely cover over it all. Internally it is simply gorgeous in an Eastern-Bloc 60's way, lovely trimmed cabin, with authentic LUN instruments that can be noted in either Hungarian, English or Czech, dirty windscreens and wings, Pilot, Co-Pilot and passenger with all fuel and passenger weights adjustable, and a nice if brief checklist. Both Avitab and RealityXP GNS430 v2 are also suppported. Sounds are very, very good, but notably in cruise, were they switch and just become some weird wind noises, and some switchgear is currently set the wrong way around (confusing if you don't know). Undercarriage can be troublesome if you don't know how it works and can stop working altogether if the lever settings are wrong, the Russian/Czech detail is very good, but can be also confusing until you work out the quirky methods, and that can in many ways sum up the aircraft... the Let certainly needs time and attention to understand it's quirks and oddities. The manual although very authentic, is just a bit too light for the require details wanted here in the complex systems and the ways of the machine, it needs far more explaining and more diagrams to help out the new and inexperienced on these sort of exotic aircraft (even I struggled as an expert reviewer). To sum up, exceptional! Yes there are a few real oddities to be refined, and also even a few bugs in there to be rectified, but there is no doubt of the quality and authenticity of this amazing machine in the X-Plane Simulator. The developers have done a very decent and though job, even a bit too though in some aspects. The price of this aircraft is also a major bonus, US$25.99 is a shockingly low price for the detail and quality of an aircraft you get here.. but overall it is in the sheer involvement that you get in every aspect with this aircraft, is why I love it so much and in the authenticity it delivers, just watch out for it's odd quirks, and you will love it as well....

olderndirt Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Visually, it's a beauty but the lack of detailed how to instructions is a deterrent for me. When they amplify their manual, I'll take another look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
