RP-C1320

265 part version

Land anywhere. Literally.

The Tamaraw is a STOL aircraft with landing gears that can literally survive a hard landing that's supposed to fold most aircraft in half. The main gears were inspired by the suspension in Mike Patey's Scrappy double wishbone, and the nose gear is a trailing link.

The aircraft's tires are of the Alaskan Bushwheels type, with the 35" variant for the mains and 26" for the nose. The wing airfoil is a Clark Y.

Controls:

AG1 - Master Switch
AG2 - Engine #1
AG3 - Engine #2
Trim - enabled

To Start The Engines (semi realistically :P):

Press AG1, wait for the propeller blades to move to neutral, then press AG2. Wait for a second or two, or until the engine RPM settles (refer to noise). Then, press AG3. Wait until Engine #2's RPM settles, then begin taxiing.
