INTRODUCTION
The Robin DR400 is an aircraft that will be familiar to many pilots as it is one of the most used trainers.
Conceived in the early 70’s by Pierre Robin and Jean Délémontez. It flew for the first time in 1972 and at least
1300 were build. In any sense of the word it is a successful aircraft.
The wooden structure and the characteristic ’cranked wing’ make it seem an older aircraft then is actually was
actually rather modern and highly efficient. It’s light and the fabric covered wings and fuselage have low drag
compared to a metal aircraft with hundreds of rivets. It’s also easy to fly at any speed so flight schools loved it.
It can pull gliders, carry 4 persons and has proven to be very reliable.
In FSX and Prepar3D it is an ideal aircraft for beginners as you can cruise around without much hassle. But
experts will like the very advanced flight characteristics that are truly highly accurate. In some of the models
they are so accurate that even they idiosyncrasy of an older aircraft are included. For example the D-EVEM
model that is flown by the main developer has a rather serious tendency to turn left. On most models this is
countered by a trim tab but it was not on this model till very recent. So this is one model that is not easy to fly
without rudder pedals. Some other models in this product are better balanced and easier to fly. But it shows
how detailed the actual aircrafts are modelled.
