THE MANUALS 

This English manual you are now reading should be considered the main manual. But for German users we 
have a complete actual manual of the D-EVEM as a separate file as well! 

FLYING THE ROBIN 

The Robin DR400 is an easy aircraft to fly.  It’s one of those aircraft that people start to love after getting 
acquainted with the few faults it has. It’s stable, reliable and predictable. Predictable even in its ‘problems’, for 
example it has a tendency (some even a strong tendency) to want to go left. You sure learn to use the rudder 
in this aircraft! The engine is more than powerful enough for the 1000 Kg even though some are 35 years old. 
As the fuselage is made of wood it does not have rivets to cause drag and the whole aircraft is very smooth. 
The shape of the wing with the characteristic bend halfway helps you to stay out of problems. . In FSX this is an 
ideal aircraft for people who want to learn to fly better and to take some trips to scout the virtual landscape 

But it is also an ideal trainer as it needs the pilot to fly it all the time, when you look around at the scenery (you 
have wonderful visibility in the Robin) it tends to wonder off, no matter how much you trim, it will always find 
one direction it wants to go for some reason. So while it may not be the ideal aircraft for long distance travel it 
will get you to where you want to do without trying to kill you the way some aircraft seem to want to do.  Keep 
your energy up, stay ahead of the aircraft and you’ll be fine.
