ACA-210 Starling light utility aircraft

A commercial plane to suit all your needs. It's small, light and flexible. Highly detailed and realistic, with many features, to allow for maximum immersion & control. It isn't defenseless either, with harpoints to carry weapons. The Starling has it all!

This capable aircraft was created by me to use a modular engine, it is my first successful aircraft to use a modular engine. I got a sudden kick to make a commercial plane, this was after I had figured out how to properly make modular engines, therefore I wanted to use one. However there I still wasn't the best at making or using these engines, so I also got tips from some people at Tricky's Server. Such as with cooling, gearing, air to fuel ratio & stoichiometric values. Without their help I wouldn't have been able to come this far. The plane is not a direct replica of anything and is entirely fictional, but it's inspired by Cessna, Piper Cub and Bush planes.

The name Starling comes from a small bird, with the paintjob of the plane being based of the colors of the bird. The designation ACA stands for AEVEX Commercial Aircraft, AEVEX (also known as ABHI) is the manufacturer, and are well known for their wide array of industries in both the commercial and military sectors in the BN universe.

It's combat use might be limited but it does have 2 hardpoints. Because why not right, you never know when you find yourself in a battle? I mean it even got thrust vectoring ability, so can probably out turn most planes you face, but of course it's real use is for aerobatics.

While yes the plane might not be the easiest to fly or handle, it is intended to be somewhat easy to use. It even got a unit switch, to change from my standard units to the real life standard aviation units. The plane also has realistic features such as flaps, radio, reverse, manual engine crank and even feathering, while the feathering might not actually work like it does in real life, it does give you the ability to change the amount of power that goes out to the propeller. The hand crank allows you to regain power even after all power is lost, by spinning up the engine yourself, it will turn on and start powering the APU generators. It will then try to get the power back to about 80%.

• 1 Start the engine by holding the large key
  
• 2 Make sure the feathering is 0
  
• 3 Make sure brakes are off
  
• 4 If loaded with weapons or is extra heavy, set flaps to 3
  
• 5 Pull throttle to max

All of the microcontrollers are made by me. Updates might come in the future, such as autopilot, and improved gyro, we will see. And yes there are some differences from the thumbnail plane and the release one, but not many. I reuploaded it since it didnt come up on recent on the workshop.
