Antonov A-40 Kryla Tanka (flying tank) replica
here we have a real oddity from ww2. a soviet attemp to make a glider attachment to a t-60 tank. the creation fully works and is great fun airlifting the tiny tank into the battlezone.
TO USE, takes off at 150mph, she is a bit nosey on the pitch and needs constant adjustment. detacher 1 to rid yourselves of the engines and revert her to her true glider (also throttle off the tank motor) in glide mode she is very sensative and will bite you. detacher 2 to drop the tank. you can either land the outfit, and then detach or you can detach from just off the ground and come to a rolling stop. in tank mode, dont exceed 20mph and then turn. she will flip. have fun, and let me know if you do anything cool like land her on tiny.
