INTRODUCTION

The Tiran Industries Falcon, FA.8 Nisiri, is a Winolian Multirole strike aircraft designed and produced in the late 60s to early 70s. It was introduced swiftly as a result of the strike fighter program, which it was designed as part of, being rushed forward in priority. The FA.8 Nisiri had a rough early life, plagued by issues such as its high and dangerous landing conditions, lack of power and fuel hungry engine. Eventually these issues were ironed out and it emerged as one of the finest strike aircraft in the region. About 600 went into service and many saw extensive upgrades at home and with clients that would lead to its operation well into the new millennium.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Landing mode is pretty much required if you want to try and land at around 200mph. Without it you’ll be attempting a landing at 300. Couldn’t fix this issue.keep engine at about 20% till touchdown, then deploy chute.
  

  - You have flaps but don’t actually use them to try and land, you’ll quickly stall below 190mph.

CLOSING STATEMENTS

I hope you enjoy this build. Personally, I’m not happy with it but I’ve been working on this on and off for months and its been a blocker to all my other projects in the works.

I’ve decided the best way for me to let it go is by uploading it. Feel free to critique; I only ask that you keep it polite and constructive. Rest assured, my upcoming work should be better quality and, more importantly, more inspired and fun.

If you find anything that’s broken or bad, let me know.

For a sneak peek into a couple of my projects please research the MiG-23K.

I know I can do better and I want to make even more builds (of greater variety too). I’ll also strive to upload once a month.
