This is Rick Piper's original A22 Foxbat for FSX.

The Files were originally hosted on the now discontinued Horizon Simulations Forum.

As a number of forum members on the replacement PlaySimulations Forum were seeking this and the FS9 version files I have contacted Rick and he has given his permission for the files to be posted on Flightsim and or Avsim.

My thanks to Rick for allowing his files to be kept alive. 

Please remember that Rick retains copywrite of his work. If you wish to modify or re-post, please do as I did and seek his permission.

Included are four textures and this readme from Rick himself:-

what the aircraft is...............

The A-22 'Foxbat' is available as a Ready-To-Fly factory built aircraft or as an advanced kit. Building time for the kit is 300 to 500hrs.  Designed by former Antonov design engineer, Yuri Yakovlev , the A-22 is one of a line of many aircraft produced by Aeroprakt in the Ukraine. Construction is aluminium with some parts of the wing and control surfaces covered with Ceconite. The A-22 is powered by the reliable Rotax 912 or 912S engine, and the 3-blade composite ground adjustable propellor from KievProp is very quiet.  A cabin width of 120cm (128cm at the elbows) ensures ample room for pilot and passenger. As a comparison, the cabin with of a Cessna 172 is 100cm and a Jabiru SP is 97cm (107cm at the elbows). Transparent doors with convex sides allow for excellent downward visibility. The instrument panel has room for a generous instrument layout. Dual controls are standard with options of either conventional control yokes or a centre stick. A centre stick with a "Y" grip is also available. Basic VFR flight and engine instruments are included with the ready-to-fly aircraft.  A stall speed of 50kph (30mph) using the full span flapperons puts the A-22 safely into the microlight category.  The all round visibility from the A-22 is spectacular. The aircraft has a baggage compartment that allows up to 20kg to be carried.
