Oscar I piston engine aircraft.

[Alias72]

Hello everybody! I have designed a small single engine aircraft for FAR. I used the following mods: Far, KAX, SXT, Tweakscale. There were other mods but these are the only dependencies (plus firespitter but it is required for KAX)

It is low altitude and speed, but I spent 4 hours on it so SHUSH! I had massive stability problems arising from a bad landing gear part. Not using that anymore.

It travels around 80 m/s at an altitude of 1.2 km. It has a take off speed around 65 m/s. It weighs about 3 tons and has an endurance of 4 hours. Not overly impressive, but nice and stable.

Another issue, especially with small planes, is mass. The fuselage of this aircraft is one metric ton. this is unreasonable given that an empty Cessna 172 is around 700kg. my fuselage weighs more than a Cessna. In the future I would choose a more suitable fuselage for the aircraft size. the one I chose is for the Beechcraft king air. I also used a 675 hp P&W PT6. Well. If you have any small aircraft or wish to comment then post them below!

SXT is this:http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/24906-LLL-Lack-Luster-Labs-Dev-Thread-LLL-13-1-13DEC2014-SXT-19-07DEC2014-KSC-v3 I say "SXT" because I think he misspelt it.
