Auto Credit Based on bskngshrk's 1940s AIRCRAFT CHALLENGE [CLOSED, WINNERS ANNOUNCED ON FORUM]
The Buffalo was made for close proximity dogfight. It's fun to fly and very agile. It's only limitation is speed, because of the shape of the airframe.
**ACTIVATION GROUPS AND CONTROLS**
AG1 = Engine on
AG2 = Navigation lights
VTOL = Flaps
Trim = Propeller pitch
Throttle = Throttle (lol)
**FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS**
For takeoff, VTOL up for flaps. Set your trim to the third notch, Activate group 1 and throttle up slowly. You will gain enough lift at about 80 mph. It flies very well at low altitudes like under 10,000 ft. But when going higher you should be careful with the throttle because the engine tends to overspeed.
