Third time's the charm...

Descrption

That Yakovlev Yak-40 was a light, three-engined transport aircraft meant for heavy use on the country's many unpaved or unprepared airfields. It's large tires and high power ratio (both forward and backward) allowed it to land on very short runways. I've added lights, a thrust reverser, fixed the rotator on the rudder, and put a fancier livery on it, as well as making the landing gear actually fold up rather than just have the wheels glitch like crazy.

Controls

Act. 1: Landing lights (they fold out of the nose!)
Act. 2: The other lights
Act. 3: Reverser
VTOL: Flaps

Reverser deployed


If you look closely on this one, you'll see that the rudder is gone. I broke it taking off from Bent Prop and didn't realize.

Enjoy your flight!
