IFM Tarakona Super Lifter

The Tarakona Super lifter is a heavy hauling tilt rotor craft. Able to detach cargo pods, fuel tanks, and other systems, the Tarakona is the IFM's heavy transport solution.

Basic Info:
============
PCU: 17,637

Battery/Reactor Powered

8 Gatling Gun Turrets
4 Fixed Gatling Guns
1 Large Grid Large Cargo Container

Can carry full load of ore/material at Realistic capacity. Approximate Max weight of Large Cargo Container 1,140,202.72 kg (2,508,445.984 lbs). Max weight of the cargo container in excess may not be able to maintain stable fixed wing flight.

2 Options for transferring cargo/gasses. 1) Detach intermodal container and reattach to base 2) dock directly to base via connectors on the craft

Does not use scripts

Tips for pilots:

Open Air Brakes when making approaches to land.
Adjust thrust override in controlled increments to maintain stable flight
Tilting main rotors will need adjustments to thrust override.
The angle of the rotors combined with the thrust level effects how fast you move forward
Control thrusters are for maneuvering while hovering and stability and will not save you if careless about use of rotors
Don't go to fixed wing mode (tilting rotors all the way forward) without full thrust or at lower thrusts above 50m/s
Rotors not moving correctly while loaded? Increase torque on Ctrl 2 hotbar.
Disabling inertia dampers while in fixed wing mode allows for less work of main thrusters
When fully loaded, take your time. Its not a fighter jet.
