Rockwell Commander 114

There are not a lot of Rockwell planes in the game so this is a good plane!
Over the years the early variants of the Model 112 were perceived as under-powered and having limited load capability. The manufacturer addressed these problems in November 1975 with the Model 114, of which more than 1,100 were delivered. In the late 1970s Rockwell sold most of its aviation assets, the Commander series being obtained by Gulfstream, but no production took place. In 1988 Commander Aircraft Co took over the line and set up a new facility at Bethany in Oklahoma, USA. Here the new Model 114 series was developed, with a new engine cowling, re-designed wing and an IO-540 engine of increased power. Larger fuel tanks, oxygen and some LoPresti refinements went towards an increase in performance and load carrying capability.

The Model 114B had a 194 kw (260 hp) Textron Lycoming IO-540-T4B4 six-cylinder engine. Later the 114TC appeared, flying for the first time in October 1994, having a 201 kw (270 hp) Textron Lycoming TIO-540-AG1A turbo-charged six-cylinder engine and a fuel capacity of 341 litres (75 Imp gals) in two integral wing tanks.

"On some planes the propeller is placed at an angle! That is because when the propeller spins it creates turbulence making it turn sideways, To counter this, the nose is tilted"
