Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender

Poopypoop plane

Same as my other aircrafts you simply need to flip the cooling and air/fuel pump switch and turn on the ignition (the key switch). To make the engine actually run you need to increase the fuel/air intake by pulling the air/fuel lever.
When all of that is done you need to increase the clutch pressure and the propellers will work.

If you don't have the patience to line up the plane with the runway you need to wait for the rps to reach 60 and then increase the clutch pressure for a quick take-off. This is because of the flywheel on the engine.

The engine is a modified version from CaptainSmollett's 'Pre-Made' Modular Engine Pack which you can find on the workshop

The plane features two armaments at the nose of the plane. 2 x 20 mm automatic cannons. The real life version of the plane had four 12.7 mm machine guns in the nose of the plane, however the stormworks equivalent would be the regular machine guns. I decided to not add then because of the low ammo capacity.

The real life version had a max speed of 390 mph, mine has a max speed of 140 mph...
It's a shame, but at least it manages to fly...
