Lohner Flying Boat Maneuver Deck?

[David Kuijt]

Can anyone help with discussing what maneuver deck would be appropriate for the Austro-Hungarian Lohner Flying Boat I've picked up? Maybe a G with no Immelman?

David, can you post up some stats on the plane for us to look over?

[Schwerpunkt]

I picked up one of these on eBay too. Haven't got my references to hand (am at work) but

Performance
Maximum speed: 105 km/h (65 mph)
Range: 600 km (375 miles)
Service ceiling: 2,500 m (8,200 ft)

The climb rate (based on that of the Macchi copy of the Lohner) would be about

To 1,000m
5 min 30 sec

To 2,000 m
11 min 30 sec

To 3,000 m
20 min 25 sec.

That ain't very fast -- slower than the G machines, which are all 85-90ish mph. Luckily Flight of the Giants gives us some slower card decks. So that means probably XA or XB -- whichever one has the turnier turn (a 45 degree turn).

What kind of kit is it, white metal, resin, and who made it?

[Schwerpunkt]

Mine is plastic I think, but fully rigged and painted. It is made by a company called Sora. They also do a Taube and a Morane N
