Entry for the Falklands Challenge set by FredDeane. The IA-58 Pucara served the Argentine Navy to limited degrees of success early on in the war, and operated in an Air-Ground capacity. Many were destroyed on the ground by British forces, but still managed to achieve some degrees of success in this time. They were capable of carrying primarily cannons and bombs, and were known to be fairly durable and resistant to anti aircraft fire...unfortunately almost all of this does not apply to this replica :P It more or less flies, has retractable landing gear and functional cockpit view. It seems to be nose heavy in flight, so pulling back on the stick is necessary. Decided to do away with the original custom props, so it now flies much faster.
