Description
The Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) Wirraway (an Aborigine word meaning 'challenge') was an advanced trainer and general purpose wartime aircraft based off the North American NA-33 (an early pre-war aircraft that would become the Texan). This aircraft served to develop Australia's aircraft manufacturing going into World War II (which was previously non-existent), and they produced 755 aircraft between 1939 and 1946. Oddly enough the Wirraway was more successful in the fighter role then the purpose built fighter that replaced it, the Boomerang. It shot down one more aircraft then the Boomerang during it's operational use in the role...the Boomerang never shot down any aircraft. Today there are still a few Wirraway's either being restored or flying today, a credit to the fledgling aircraft industry of Australia.

This particular CAC Wirraway is a facsimile of the aircraft as it would have looked circa 1943 when flown by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during World War II. The aircraft and it's associated systems closely resemble those on the real aircraft in both use and function. To get the best out of the aircraft I encourage you to read the information listed below and watch the tutorial video.

Specifications:
  • Max Speed: 160 KIAS
  • Range: 130 Km
  • Fuel Capacity : 750L
  • Crew: 2

Operation:

Oh, makes sense! Love ya work mate, as an Australian!

tankengine888, glad you got everything figured out! Are you trying to move the elevators on the ground so as to 'clear the controls'? If so, because of how I have this aircraft setup it would allow you to do that, The elevators work but they are severally restricted so as to allow for semi-realistic aircraft performance. You will have to use some or all of the runway to takeoff, like a real aircraft should. Let me know if you need more help.

I can't control my elevators, I watched the start up video, it's all going like clockwork except for my non-functioning elevators

i love this plane, you did a very great job on it!

Flaccidcake, very true. Infact I get the impression from the manual(s) that his/her primary purpose was operating the radios. In a training environment ofcourse it would have been as an instructor pilot. Thanks for the comments!
