Orca Aircraft OA-40S V 1.0

90 OrcaKid  4.1 years ago

This aircraft took me a while to perfect. It is a twin turboprop heavy lift STOL airplane. Its competitors include beefy’s PADC Tamaraw, which I made a modernized version of, and the Twin Otter. It is made of carbon composite materials and only weighs 6000lbs. Takes off in 100ft and has the power to climb out vertically. With twin 950shp Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-62 engines attached to hartzell 5 blade props you will never need more power than you have. Start up procedure: AG1 for master, wait for props to un feather, AG3 to start engine 2 wait for rpm to stabialize, AG2 to start engine 1, wait for rpm to stabalize, then begin taxi. For stol takeoff idle throttles, tap brakes, hold full up elavator, then full power. When above 150kts use trim for pitch control because it is a very large surface for rotation. Thank you and enjoy!
