Kamov Ka-8

History:


Ka-8
First flight 1947
Number built 5

The Kamov Ka-8 was a small, single-seat Soviet helicopter that first flew in 1947. It was a precursor of the Ka-10. The Ka-8 was powered by a 27 hp M-76 engine, boosted to 45 hp by using alcohol for fuel - It was derived from a previous Kamov design, the KA-17.

Note: Comrade, we are getting several reports of fuel ware lost so often without flying the helicopter

How to fly:

AG1 to switch on the initiation -
VTOL at 100% (Highest) for upward thrust
VTOL down slowly to move down.
you need some practice to fly a helicopter if you are new. But this is pretty easy to fly.

HOW TO FLY (basic)

This applies for MOST of the helicopters, but not for AutoGyros, V-22 types

    Good job, you could XML edit the buoyancy to make it float though

    Nothing like soviets and drinking industrial coolant, or, in this case, aviation fuel.

    @FirstFish83828 no. It can’t. The physical size is too small although i set the floats at buoyancy 100%

    @Sakorsky Well, Tu-22 was nicknamed the "supersonic booze carrier".
