The fuselage of the Kamov Ka-26 consists of a fixed, bubble-shaped cockpit containing the pilot and co-pilot, plus a removable, variable box available in medevac, passenger-carrying and crop duster versions. The helicopter can fly with or without the box attached for flexibility. The Ka-26 is small enough to land on a large truck bed. The reciprocating engines are more responsive than turboshaft engines, but require more maintenance. It runs mostly at high power in crop dusting with usually excess payload, leaving little reserve power for emergencies. Due to frequent overloads, the interconnect shaft joining the two engines is prone to breakage and requires frequent inspection. The standard instrumentation of the Ka-26, like larger naval Kamovs, may be overkill for civilian or crop dusting use. The 18-dials cockpit panel masks a part of the right-downwards view, needed to avoid telephone and power lines at low altitudes. The instrument panel may be simplified to retain the six main dials. As there is a low rotor clearance at the aircraft front, it is approached from the rear when the rotors are turning. It is powered by two 325 hp (239 kW) Vedeneyev M-14V-26 radial engines mounted in outboard nacelles. 9 liveries are included in this pack: ---Neutral, ---Russian Navy, ---Aeroflot, ---Interflug, ---German Police, ---GDR Police, ---Hungary Airforce, ---Dem Rep Congo, ---Ukraine, There are several cargo and cabin options for the helicopter available, so a meaningful flight from A to B with loading and unloading may be played. All helicopter variants can be changed in realtime on the ground or even in flight All cargo and equipment options may be selected in the cockpit and in the cargo bay.
