Hey there, today I’d like to request the Foxbat A22 (A22LS) (Nicknamed ‘Kelpie’) Its a small light trainer plane (usually yellow). It’s also a VSTOL aircraft (Very Short Take off and Landing) I’m currently in flight training and I love it. Its a very forgiving aircraft and is great for small fields. Also because the lack of GA aircraft it would be a nice idea :)

I think it would be a really nice aircraft to have in the sim. Small, light, durable and very handable. Tell me what you think 😉
