CAM C-49 "FreightFox"

SLIDE DOWN FOR IMPORTANT CAUTIONS + IMPORTANT CONTROLS

BREIF SUMMARY:
The CAM C-49, or “Freight Fox”, is a Heavy Medium-Long Range Freight Hauler that serves many companies that operate where roads are a bad idea! It features A SWING TAIL cargo loading hatch, seating for a crew of 4 (pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, and loadmaster) plus two passengers, and a large, robust wing and fuselage design. This one is charmingly painted to look like a fox.

CAUTION!!:
-This plane can take off in a relatively short distance, yet landing needs quite a bit more space.
-It’s a very, very nose heavy plane. You really don’t wanna let off the pitch. Trim will help, but not completely.
-Ramp not included :D (sorry)
-Roll rate is definitely not the best
-keep throttle at 50% at least for landing

CONTROLS:
Slide VTOL up fully to engage the cargo door and “paws” for stability.
Slide VTOL back to middle for flight
AG1- in-flight lights
AG2- Cargo bay lights

BACKSTORY:
In the mighty country of the Bomford Republic, many mining companies have been taking advantage of the resource rich Krakabola Islands. The only ways to get huge pieces of mining equipment around is on the less-than-ideal dirt roads that crisscross the island. These roads on their own are in terrible condition, but when you add the rain and snow that falls on the island, the islands roads turn into muddy rivers, bogging down any equipment that dares to use them. The mining companies though still need a way in and out. So they called in CAM to engineer a solution. Thus, the CAM C-49 “Freight Fox” was born.

Enjoy!

    This one is severely broken, and pitches down violently after takeoff. If anything, do the FreightFox 2 today, and the AC-49 Warfox tomorrow. (It’s a gunship) @Fpssuc

    It will be almost a whole different aircraft. It’s bigger, heavier, and not as capable of landing in remote places. HOWEVER! It does now have a rear cargo ramp for in-flight drops. And a nose cargo door! @12705129

    You can! Just hold your horses for a bit. A 🅱️ Version is in the works with a rear cargo ramp and better in-flight stability! @12705129

    @CustomAircraftMods If you would allow me I would be honored to add this to the KCA (Krakabloan Cargo Agency), of course, if you will allow me to!

    This is a pretty cool plane! I love the cargo door feature and it looks great but it has a pretty high stall speed. I would recommend adding some more wing area to it (between 50-150ft^2 more should do it). Overall its a lovely plane!
