Tiger Albacore

104k RailfanEthan  5.3 years ago
Auto Credit Based on RailfanEthan's Tiger Albacore

Entry for Othawne's Biplane Challenge

(pls dont DQ me because its not a successor)

Info
Imagine some Alaskan bush planes were called into battle.

Enemy: I got fighter jets, wyd?

Some bush dudes: Strapping 50 cals on my bush plane

so yeah, the Tiger Albacore is basically a mass produced bush plane with 3 propane tanks and guns. Kinda cool, huh? It's a bare bones type of plane, as in there aren't any navigational things in the cockpit. Use the ground for reference, i guess

Note
in my 3+ years of SP, this is the first plane I've made with interior. woah. I made sure everything in it moves, and has a function... you know, like my train interiors

Coolish Facts
Stall speed is 65mph
Rotaté on takeoff at 70
No, it cannot go vertical
Be gentle on the brakes, it's sensitive
Only has lettering on one side to confuse enemy, or be used as camo
No, it cannot go vertical
Never cut the throttle on landing. Always keep it above 45%.

Controls
Standard SP flight controls
1 is main lights
2 is emergency landing parachute (takes a second to get air)
3 drops all bombs
7 is interior light
Brake gently for brakes
