description=This was the third version of the S.81 deployed from early 1936. By far the heaviest, and with much more fuel than other versions, it was based only in Libya from where its extra fuel allowed it to threaten both Tunis and Cairo. Most, perhaps all, had controllable pitch screws to improve take off and climb at high weights from and over the desert. Could also perform long range overload maritime patrol missions. Arguably the best version of all its location made it the last to see combat. After initial deliveries from France the engines were built under licence by Isotta Fraschini.This plane, used in North Africa during spring of 1943, belonged to 600th Sq.Trasporti. Skin by Manuele Villa, April 2008.

[fuel]
Max fuel 7065lbs = 1177 USG modern unleaed AVGAS
The real aircraft had eight tanks, six of which were between the engines. Outboard tanks were used only for overload maritime patrol.
The S.81 had a maximum bomb load of 2,000Kg but the normal bomb load was half that which allowed 1820Kg of AVGAS to be loaded for a typical mission. When carrying the maximum possible bomb load of 2000Kg the maximum fuel load is 820Kg.
Those who wish to complicate the roll and yaw handling can move the left right tanks a few feet either side of CoG.

[Flaps.0]
Slow moving hand pumped flaps. Technical manual has only caution against use at 'high' IAS. The pump would break and the flaps would 'stick'. More or less self resolving in real life as they were too difficult to hand pump at high IAS. Vfe nominally set at 250 KmIAS, but correct IAS for deployment of each stage much lower and specified within the handling notes.

Some care must be exercised to moderate profile drag (IAS) < 310 KmIAS (but especially when descending) to avoid structural failure of the tail. Due to the high drag of the fixed gear this was not a material problem in real life.
