This is the first 100% piston powered fighter aircraft of the Omega Air Force. It is part of the Blue tail squadron, which was specifically made for piston powered fighters. These planes can be very effective because of their infinite range.

This fighter was designed around the new Compact X92CRP engine, which is the smallest piston engine I've ever made in terms of diameter, and it still puts out more power than it's larger predecessor the X76CRP (The one I used on the nuclear bear).

*IMPORTANT* INSTRUCTIONS:

When starting in the air, throttle up to 100% and VTOL up (NOT ALL THE WAY!) for propeller pitch.
On the ground, if idling, make sure the engine is either off or above 50%, this is to guarantee the propellers spinning direction won't invert.

Note: I set the prop pitch input to VTOL so you can change it inflight without necessarily increasing/decreasing throttle. On higher altitudes(10-20,000 ft), you can slide increase prop pitch a little more, this will give you the ability to go faster at those altitudes.
