Cessna 310Q G-BALN

Cessna 310Q G-BALN brings a faithful 1976-era repaint to Rob Richardson’s twin, capturing the original Castle Donnington scheme worn by c/n 310Q-0684 (ex N7890Q). Designed for FSX, it adds accurate UK registration markings and period styling for a convincing classic general aviation ramp and cross-country experience.

description=The 310 first flew on January 3, 1953 with deliveries starting in late 1954. The sleek modern lines of the new twin were backed up by innovative features such as engine exhaust thrust augmenter tubes and the storage of all fuel in tip tanks in early models. In 1964, the engine exhaust was changed to flow under the wing instead of the augmenter tubes, which were considered to be noisy.Typical of Cessna model naming conventions, a letter was added after the model number to identify changes to the original design over the years. The first significant upgrade to the 310 series was the 310C in 1959, which introduced more powerful 260 hp Continental IO-470-D engines. In 1960 the 310D featured swept back vertical tail surfaces. An extra cabin window was added with the 310F.
