Kriger KS-10 Vaquero Recon Aircraft w/ AutoCanon

Description
Update:
Basic AutoCanon added. Crosshair coming soon
I will also add a rocket pod on the opposite side of the aircraft

Introduction

The little known Kriger KS-10 Vaquero series of recon aircrafts have been all around the world of Stormworks and participated in many theater of war and yet not a lot is said about the Vaquero. That's just how it should be. If no one knows you're there then you're doing a good job of a Recon. This variant is from the Kriger Marines. Its side pods used to hold rockets and guns but today it is used solely for civilian reconnaissance. The KS-10 is mostly used to locate missing people at sea or act as a spotter for water bombing aircrafts. The KS-10 Vaquero can sit two: a Pilot and an Observer. The aircraft comes with a radar, a beacon locator and a gimball camera in the nose. What makes it a special aircraft though is its capability to fly very slow, take off and land at slow speeds and yet also fly very fast! You need to get to a locator beacon quickly? Use the Vaquero! Once within the area of the beacon, you need to slowly scan the seas to locate survivors? Use the Vaquero too!

This aircraft is inspired by the real world OV-10 Bronco. For a while I've been wanting to build a "Super Bronco" as in a bigger OV-10. The Vaquero is the result of that project.

With the addition of the Weapons DLC, have you given some thought to maybe making an armed variant of this?

No, it's by design

Inverspe: Takeoff throttle: 30%, cruise: 25%. If you fly faster well you'll burn fuel faster. I'll do a range test and get back to you in here. Usually if it'll do 100km at cruise speed it's adequate for fuel.

but it has a low amount of fuel
