Find aircraft background, systems descriptions and manuals for the aircraft you are researching. Each note keeps its source and version context close by.
Simulator manuals describe the developer’s implementation. Aircraft background is research-based; pilot accounts describe an individual’s experience. Coverage here is limited to the selected notes and linked resources, not the full contents of every manual.

An invented aircraft with two operating forms
The manual presents the Scrapyard Monster as a collection of deliberately extravagant design ideas. Bush and Sea versions adapt that fictional vehicle to different operating surfaces. Its V12 installation and performance belong to the simulator design.

Controls for air and water
The steering-wheel control operates pitch and roll, with a tab supplying pitch trim. Hydraulic wing flaps have mechanical automatic ground retraction. Sea water rudders are assigned to the parking-brake binding and work with the landing gear up.

Flying Fries Scrapyard Monster
The Scrapyard Monster is Flying Fries' fictional aircraft, offered in bush and sea forms. Its manual describes an adapted Cosworth-derived V12 concept and deliberately exaggerated performance, alongside a steering-wheel-like pitch and roll control.
Pitch trim acts through a tab. Hydraulic wing flaps have mechanical automatic ground retraction; in the Sea version, water rudders use the parking-brake binding and require the gear to be raised.

Primary controls and stabiliser trim
The manual identifies manual pushrod controls and electric stabiliser trim. Its dedicated flap page gives 0, 13 and 58 degrees and a 250 km/h deployment procedure. Elsewhere it uses 15 degrees and a 300 km/h Vfe, with inconsistent Vd/Vne entries. These remain separate source passages.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-8
FlyingIron's Fw 190 A-8 manual describes manual pushrod primary controls and electric stabiliser trim. Its dedicated flap section lists 0, 13 and 58 degrees, with a 250 km/h deployment procedure.
Other passages give different flap and speed values. Later product updates revise the flight model and add a persistent rudder trim-tab setting adjusted on the ground.
