Hi, I would like to create a profile for the Bristell Classic airplane (BRISTELL UL HD with ROTAX 912 ULS engine). In your opinion which aircraft - among those available in SkyDemon - is closest?

Thanks.

Hi Freccia,
from my personal experience i would strongly recommend to start with an empty profile and go through all available entry fields.
If you use an existing profile, you anyway have to check all fields to make sure, your profile fits your aircraft.
With a good profile, based on your POH, SD's fuel calculations are incredibly precise!
I know, this answer will not help you very much ;-) but it is the only way to get good calculations from SD.

Hi Gerhard,

thanks for your help but I wrote this question because I haven't found a way to create an empty profile. SD only allows me to modify one that looks like my airplane

Oh sorry, I created my profiles some years ago and told you nonsense ;-)
I guess it does not matter from which default aircraft you start, as you have to check all entry fields thoroughly. I’m sure, you cannot let even one of the fields unchanged…

There's no such thing as an empty aircraft profile in SkyDemon. What we used to offer to start with was a Piper PA28.
