FSX native Paulistinha
The CAP-4 Paulistinha was a military and civilian trainer aircraft built in Brazil during the 1930s and 1940s. It was originally developed by Empresa Aeronutica Ypiranga (EAY) as an unlicensed copy of the Taylor Cub powered by a Salmson 9Ad radial engine. It featured a high strut-braced wing, two enclosed tandem seats, and a steel-tube fuselage with fabric covering. Its tailwheel undercarriage was not retractable.
EAY had built five examples by the time that the firm was purchased by Companhia Aeronutica Paulista (CAP) in 1942. CAP continued manufacturing the type under the designation CAP-4.
The type was widely successful, with nearly 800 units being produced for Brazil's flying clubs and armed forces, as well as for export to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay and Portugal. At the time of peak production in 1943, a new CAP-4 left the factory every day, and production continued until 1948.
In 1956, Sociedade Aeronutica Neiva (Neiva) acquired the rights renaming it to P-56 Paulistinha, the design was used as the basis for an agricultural aircraft, the P-56 Agricola, adding a fibreglass chemical hopper and spraybars, but this was unable to compete with imported, purpose-built agricultural aircraft.

TAKE-OFF:
- maintain the stick on center until 30 mph (IAS) and then make a litle press to front to aquire a horizontal attitude;
- at 60 mph pull the stick to leave the ground;
- set throttle to 2,100 rpm and maintain 60 mph - climb at 600-700 fpm.

CRUISE:
- 80 mph IAS at 5,000 ft, rpm=2,100.

LANDING:
- Decrease throttle to idle and set speed to 60 mph. This configuration will result in a vertical speed around -500 fpm.
- With crossed wind, set throttle to 1,500 rpm and maintain speed in 70 mph.
- Avoid touchdown with a VSI > -100 fpm.

FEATURES:
- Full flyable Virtual Cockpit.
- Shape with fabric coverture visual.
