Auto Credit Based on FeiWu's [CANCELED] Bush Plane Challenge

Basically I threw together the TAASI T-14, Scout Kia, and a C-119. This is my first “bush plane”

Alright so I apparently get some points for writing a description for this tin can so here we go:

So some place out in I don’t know, Alaska or Siberia, has a good sized town, but the only quick and “easy” access it is through air. Small bush planes do well, but [insert generic company name here] designed a larger, faster plane to be used for this sort of job. The final result was the C-55 [someone suggest a nickname pls], a powerful ‘stol’ capable plane with a respectable cargo or passenger capacity.

Ag1: Engines
Ag2: Open Door
Ag3+VTOL Down: Lower Ramp
Ag4: Activate ROV (controlled by pitch and roll)
Ag5: "Parking Brake"
VTOL: Flaps
You will need Trim.

Rotate around 90-100 mph with flaps down
Aircraft stalls at about 65 mph

limitations: will not work above 316,800 feet, aircraft will implode if you reach mach 7.15(tested).

Warning: do not crash plane

I realized I broke a rule while typing this. Don’t look at the empty weight it’s definitely 100% fine...

ROV controls:
It got two canons, so don’t kill yourself. Or I guess you could. It started as an atv, but then I realized I don’t know how to build an atv.
Pitch=forward/backward
Roll=left/right
4 detaches it from the plane and turns on the engines and cannons.
How to exit aircraft:
Activate Ag5 and Ag2
Activate Ag3 and set VTOL down until ramp touches ground
Activate Ag4 and pitch down to back out.

I definitely didn't forget about this for a whole week...

I don’t know if this will go to some company in the AAT and get a better name or just sit here collecting dust. Might become and early TAASI design.
