Wistor & Co. Model 5 ''Duck''

32.4k TheAceOwl  3.0 years ago

A reliable workhorse of the Couragian Empire. Being the main cargo plane for her many islands and cities, shes proven to be easy to maintain, cheap run. Down sides- hard to take off and handle, can crash if not paid enough attention.

Crew-three, pilot, navigator, engineer.
Can carry up to 3.5 tonnes of cargo 600 miles.

History of plane.
The Duck began life as a prototype for a bomber, but the rough handling made it difficult for accurate attacks and needed a un-orthadox approach for a bombbay, where they would "eject" the bombs out the sides. Failing the proving grounds, Wistor decided to redesign the plane for cargo since it was able to lift large payloads. For five years now a few hundred have been made, with very few accidents.

Operation- Pull flaps to full down, and throatle to 100%, wait till the plane is at 110mph then pull on the stick. She takes some time getting off the water. Be careful with pitching, the plane has a powerful Hornet Mk1,18 cylinder radial engine, take wants to pull the nose forward. The fast you fly, then better she handles. Landings are easy though.
