UPDATE; NOW WITH RADIO!

This little pretty pink plane was built in record time for me - just two days! Well, it doesn't really have functionality in the traditional sense, so there aren't any other real selling points to it. Perfect if you just want some wings to putt around the islands with.


Maximum Speed: 52 m/s
At Throttle: 100%
Controllability
Stability: Only stable if you can keep a solid speed and throttle. Otherwise, it will pitch all over the damn place.
Maneuverability: Makes a Su-27 cry.

Range Info
Liters/Km, 100% throttle: Approx. 1l
Fuel capacity: 62.5l Diesel

Seating for one driver and one passenger.

Startup procedure:
Optional. Look to the rear-left of the pilot's seat and flip the radio circuit breaker on. This is only necessary if you plan to actually use the radio.
1. Turn on prop pitch, the large button to the right of the center console.
2. Turn the key, keeping throttle at idle.
And startup is complete! Taxi to runway at under 40% throttle, or if you're already set up for takeoff, slam it then and there.

Shutdown:
1. Throttle to idle. This engages the tail wheel's brake.
2. Turn the key.
3. Turn the prop pitch off. This will let the engine rev itself up, starving itself of internal air and fuel after a few seconds.
Optional. Turn the radio circuit breaker off.
4. After the prop has stopped spinning, disembark and engage the button under the vertical stabilizer; this is the parking brake, locking both front wheels.
Now the plane should be off, rock-steady, and not go anywhere. Store wherever you fancy.

Please refuel via approaching from the front of the aircraft, especially if the engine is running. Refueling from behind will expose you to high possibility of prop strike; from ahead, you will be almost perfectly safe.
