PLEASE READ THE NOTE SECTION BEFORE DOWNLOADING

LCAS-1 (Light Close Air Support 1; NATO Codename: "Carinth"), these simple little boy just got a big improvement overall (From Mk.II) , weapon loadout didn't changed at all, instead the designer focusing on performance. Improved speed, stability, agility and more. Addition of parachute make it easier for landing. Medium speed and stable, good for beginner to learn to fly and take off (It's not a trainer aircraft though).

Note:
Activation Group:
1 - Parachute
2 - Beacon Lights for landing at unfavorable condition
-Trim for trim control
-If you want to edit it, beware that the primary wing and vertical stabilizer are fully customized (means it will go out-of-its-place if mirrored).

Predecessor:
LCAS-1 Mk.II
