VSKYLABS has released V1.0 of their Robinson R66 Turbine Project for X-Plane 11.
The Robinson R66 offers 5 seats in a turbine powered helicopter, which is powered by a Rolls Royce RR300 turbo-shaft engine. The R66 also have hydraulic controls to provide a responsive handling and a way to eliminate feedback forces.
VSKYLABS recommends that you visit the Robinson Helicopters website to view information such as the POH and more.
The VSKYLABS Robinson R66 is available for $33.95.
