Cessna 195 "Shakey Jake"
The Cessna 195 was
the last "Round
Engine" produced by
the Cessna Company.
I assume the Jacobs
engine gave it the
name :Shakey Jake"
Some shots showing
the high level of
detail. The yoke and
rudder pedals are
fully animated as well
as the pilot to
produce a very
realistic environment.
This package contains
a Rescue Float, an
Amphibian, and a land
version. The amphib
version features the
Jacobs 275 hp engine,
the land and float
version a Jacobs 300
hp engine. Please note
the land version is a
tail dragger, not for the
inexperienced pilot and
will take a bit of
practice.

Three complete variations included: A military rescue float, an amphibian, and a land version. This package also contains a PDF file which contains flying tips and tips on setting up your joystick to work with the 3D panel. Although there is no 2D panel, setting field of view in the Sim to 60 degrees allows viewing of most instruments while in 2D mode.

Some Cessna 195 stuff
Produced 1947-1954
Originally powered by the 240 Continental the 190 series evolved to have a number of engine
choices. Cessna even offered to install customers own engines as an option. Imagine bringing your
own engine and flying away a satisfied customer!
The Jacobs R755-9 (L-4), 245 hp engine was used in the A model. This engine was, and still is,
available in great numbers. The “B” is modeled here and as stated used the Jacobs R-755B2
which has a noticeable power advantage, but all the Jacobs were very reliable.
The float version offered here is the LC-126 Military Model
SPECIFICATIONS- LC-126:
Span: 36 ft. 2 in.
Length: 27 ft. 4 in.
Height: 8 ft. 4 in.
Weight: 3,350 lbs. loaded
Armament: None
Engine: Jacobs R-755-A2 of 300 hp
Crew: One
Passengers: Four
I have also chosen to do the 195 as an amphibian. I have no evidence that the 195 was ever
certified as an amphibian but due to requests I have included it due to it's increased versatility.
This project originally was to include only a float version of the 195 but a land version would have
been imminent. After completion of the land version it has turned out to be my personal favorite. I
have also included a manual with some Cessna facts and some tips for using the land version.

Livery by Mike Wilson
I received this livery from a happy customer.
Painted by Christopher Vollherbst it
features the Cessna 195 with an "All Metal"
skin. Very nice job Chris.
