History
The MIK Pinto FA, is a light attack aircraft derived from an old project of the TEMCO aeronautical company, the TT-1 Pinto. MIK aerospace observed that the aircraft could be improved and compete with other similar aircraft such as the Cessna A37 Dragonfly in close support tasks. After several years of development, the new aircraft flew in 1980 under the designation Pinto A7. Its flight is subsonic, stable, with good maneuverability and pitching capacity. Its cabin has been completely renovated allowing better visibility to the sides. It incorporates a custom radar to be able to use the Brimstone and AGM-130 missiles, although it can also carry guided and free-fall bombs. It has 5 countermeasures dispensers, to be able to evade short-range missiles in low-level operations. It does not have air-to-air missiles, so it relies on a 27mm Mauser cannon for self-defense. For strafing missions, it has a 30 mm Merkat cannon with which it is capable of destroying armored units and convoys. Despite its limitations, the MIK Pinto is cheap and specialized in ground attack, which makes it a strong candidate to equip many air forces in the world.

@mikoyanster awesome, can't wait
@Liquidfox01 i´m developing an upgrade for this plane ;-)
I know this build is old but its one of my favorites and i just wanted to let you know the front ejection seat is busted
Download the plane, press UNDO then REDO. The plane will then appear without the mod parts. If you want the mods, you can’t because Android isn’t mod supported @SamDaMan124
I'm on samsung s9+ and says the airplane needs specific mods to work.how do I go about getting them
@BagelPlane
Oh thats really cool. I definitely feel these could go on an attack mission together. Or at least in the same AF
@KnightOfRen yeah, I tested this plane out while building mine to get a better feel for what an accurate flight model should preform like.
@BagelPlane
Take a look, this kinda reminds me of the Desert Hawk. Looks like we have two very nice attack planes with glass now. :)
beauty! great detailed work. awesome
@mikoyanster, TAG me when you built more modded STUFF, CUZ I WANT MORE MODDED STUFF
Bro the first pic thats have the "the pinto hits very hard" its funny asf because here in brazil pinto means Dick... So there you go.
Np :) @mikoyanster
@NoobyNoobyTheBits Thanks!
Here you go! @mikoyanster
Alright thanks I’ll post it as unlisted @mikoyanster
@NoobyNoobyTheBits Yes you can ;-)
OH BOY
One of the surviving examples I have seen was for the Philippine Air Force. The FA version if Temco still makes Pintoes makes it even better
also, how do you get your planes to have such realistic takeoffs and slow accelerations without penalizing the top speed? i have always wondered.
@mikoyanster oh ok
I think you should have made this plane from the trainer instead of the opposite cause the trainer one properly works.
I could reupload it with the fixed ejection seat if @mikoyanster gave me permission @dTitanplanesb
@NoobyNoobyTheBits It's nearly impossible to make out parts in there but thanks.
I got it to work. There’s a block above the detacher, and one of the connections on it is to the plane itself. It’s a long sloping block. Disconnect that and you’ll be good.@metallicplanes
Yep the front ejection seat doesn't work.
The Ejection seat may or may not have a problem.
