Phew........That was close.

Anyway about the aircraft

TARA-L01

This is my entry ito Hahahahaahahshs's pusher propeller challenge.
The design is directly inspired by the OV-10 "BRONCO". Initially I was going to make a original design, then I remembered why I use blueprints for building. I am terrible at original designs. So decision was made to make an all ready existing airframe and modify it. I was going to chose between the A-29 and DORNIER DO-335 (which is all ready a pusher design) but then I found the OV-10 and something about it stuck with me. Maybe the look?. The cockpit shape is of the ov-10, so is the fuselage and wings. But mine has wider wingspan and has a coaxial turboprop engine.
Currently no armament(I didn't have the time to make it, there's plenty more to be done with this) . Combat Loadout package will be released later.
Controls are standard flight controls. But...
There is a startup procedure (or atleast something like that)
First turn on APU and then FUEL PUMP then press the button named "MON".That will turn on all monitors in the cockpit. To start the engines turn on "engine1" and "engine2" And wait for 20 seconds. You are ready to fly. There are some other things too like AOA indicator and A functional RWR(kinda functional) and some warning systems and stuff like that. The WSO cockpit has a monitor showing target data, like altitude, longitude, latitude and speed which is from useful funky tree inputs (I will put a link in the PINNED COMMENT for everything I used,including the hud. It's not mine if that wasn't obvious enough. I just have find them first) till then enjoy some extra looks.
