Wittman Tailwind W8
Wittman's Tailwind line uses a compact high-wing layout with steel tube, wood and fabric construction. The original 1953 prototype used a Continental C-90, and EAA published its plans.
Lionheart's W8 rendition has a smaller engine and basic panel compared with its six-cylinder, glass-panel W10. The seller describes both as custom dream builds.

YF-23A PAV-1 / PAV-2
Top Mach Studios represents both YF-23A prototypes. PAV-1 uses YF119 engines and PAV-2 uses YF120 engines, with different performance. The simulated aircraft has custom fly-by-wire controls, retractable landing gear and automatic flaperons that also participate in yaw control and speedbraking.

Yakovlev Yak-18T
The Yak-18T in Nemeth's manual is a civil four-seat aircraft powered by a 360 hp, nine-cylinder M14P radial engine. Its variable-pitch propeller, retractable landing gear and flap control form the represented configuration.
The cockpit layout labels the gear controls, flap lock and STAU autopilot switch. The short manual gives a 108-knot cruise figure but leaves the exact trim axes unresolved.

Zivko Edge 540
Zivko's Edge 540 combines a compact low-wing airframe with a powerful piston engine for competition aerobatics. It later became closely associated with the Red Bull Air Race. The Edge 540T is a tandem-seat development.
Race modifications and competition setups can differ between individual aircraft; the simulator product identifies its represented version and equipment.

Zlin Aviation Savage Cub
Zlin Aviation's Savage Cub uses a lightweight braced high-wing airframe, tandem cabin and tailwheel landing gear for recreational flying. Its layout follows the familiar Cub pattern.
The later Norden and specialised Shock Ultra share the family outline, with different wing, engine and landing-gear developments.

de Havilland DH.60G Gipsy Moth
The DH.60 Moth developed as a 1920s two-seat touring and training biplane. Its wooden construction and folding wings suited club and private ownership, allowing the aircraft to occupy less hangar space.
Flight Replicas represents a restored DH.60G with a Gipsy II engine, radio, transponder and two-axis autopilot. Those modernised cockpit features sit alongside a control stick and pitch-trim lever.

Wheel and float configurations
The handbook identifies a Gipsy Major, fixed gear and no flaps. Wheeled aircraft have no steerable tailwheel in this description, while the float fit has its own equipment. The shared manual leaves the Modified model's precise engine and control differences open.
