Auto Credit Based on PapaKernels's taikav t16 sabertooth

this is the first plane in a new class of aircraft known as the almostlight!

please read the builders note for proper landing instructions!!!

history

The taikav areo Industries T-16 sabertooth is the first in a new movement in the new aircraft type know as the almostlight. The taikav areo industries was slowly losing money and intrest in their once popular T-80 sterlin and so the head designers came up with an all new type of aircraft that would later be known as the almostlight. The plane was to be fast, maneuverable, and, most importantly, fun to fly. The taikav t16 came out of this and during testing proved to be such a good aircraft that production was spead up and was officially put up for the public. Its sales were slow at first but after a celebrity endorsement sales skyrocketed and a new community of aviators came about.

Just sitting in the morning sun


builders note:

This is alot of fun to fly and is a very good aircraft for stol capabilities. It has a takeoff speed of around 80mph, and a stall speed around 60-70mph. Its maneuverability is nothing to scoff at and is very good. The suspension is a bit stiff and I suggest not to go full on the brakes. For best landings make your decent long and try and hit the ground at around 60-70mph, just before stall and gently put in brake. Also looking at it from the front, where the lights are makes it look like a fish, just me?
A challenge will bloom from my idea of the almostlight and should be released tomorrow!! Hope you can enter!!

    Btw on the rotators for the stick you can add, inside the jointRotator area, a thing called "damperMultiplier" and set that to maybe 6000 so the movement is smooth
