Original

The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: "Annushka" or "Annie"; "kukuruznik"—corn crop duster; USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22, NATO reporting name Colt) is a Soviet mass-produced single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed and manufactured by the Antonov Design Bureau beginning in 1946. Its remarkable durability, high lifting power, and ability to take off and land from poor runways have given it a long service life. The An-2 was produced up to 2001 and remains in service with military and civilian operators around the world.

In this simpleplanes version however, it's around 0.75 scale of it's actual counterpart, slightly faster, and lower service ceiling, and that's pretty much it, unlike the last one however this one had more control surfaces, paint, details, and the actual engine's horsepower, as well as a somewhat accurate fuel load, it can now land AND fly like an actual plane instead of the "go slow and still bounce back up" and "tow a vespa with a Bugatti Chiron" flaws of the previous An-2 as it now had a stable airframe, and also it had a trick up it's sleeve, it had a very low stall speed, around 56 km/h (34 mph), similar to the actual thing, if the engine decided to commit lifen't keep the plane stable until it slows down to around 130 km/h and then put flaps all the way down and pitch the plane stable until the elevator's all the way up then hold it, by around 96 km/h it will go into a parachute descent rate with responsive controls, albeit to a limited extent, and then the aircraft would simply land as if it's actually, well, landing.

Flying into the wind is also viable

Controls :
Trim : flaps and rear tail trim


North Korean version

Also even though this plane is the latest one to be posted, the plane itself is actually made way before I made this overhauling project, which is why the scale is a little different, same thing with the Hurricane Mk. IV.
