Despite its evident inspiration on combat planes, the Rustler is seemingly treated as a recurring civilian/trainer plane.

The Rustler takes the design of a single-seater "interceptor" aircraft with a relatively large and sectioned fuselage, where the nose houses a large four-bladed propeller, a large intake below the spinner and numerous exhausts on the sides. Around the middle section, there is the small cockpit with a sliding canopy and the main wings mounted at the base of the aircraft (low-wing setup) with the corresponding ailerons, while the underside has dedicated hatches for the main landing gear. The tail boom houses the empennage with the horizontal stabilizers and the vertical stabilizer, while the lower side has a single tail wheel. [[Carl Johnson]] stands on top of the plane's left wing to open the hatch to reach the cockpit.

==Description==
  
−
The Rustler is a decent-sized single-seater airplane with a single propeller at the front. The cockpit is located in the middle of the plane and [[CJ]] stands on top of the plane's left wing to open the hatch to reach the cockpit. When parked on the ground, the plane always leans tilted upwards, with rear steering while on the ground.
  
   
  +
The Rustler is seen with a gray body and black/white stripes on the lower surfaces of the main wings and the tail boom. The primary color is applied to the upper surfaces of the fuselage, wings and horizontal stabilizers, while the secondary color is applied to the end of the nose, the wing tips and the vertical stabilizer.

As expected from a fighter plane, the Rustler has impressive speed in the air and is very maneuverable, making it one of the easiest planes (and is usually one of the first) in the game to fly. The plane is incredibly susceptible to damage; the machine guns are difficult to use because of its speed and the plane's lack of endurance. It also has a relatively long take-off time compared to other propeller-planes of its size.

Not to be confused with the Hustler.

The Rustler is a fighter plane in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Design

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The Rustler draws inspiration from various real-life WWII fighter planes, including the North American P-51 Mustang, the Curtis P-40 Warhawk, the Hawker Typhoon and the Supermarine Spitfire. Despite its evident inspiration on combat planes, the Rustler is seemingly treated as a recurring civilian/trainer plane.

The Rustler takes the design of a single-seater "interceptor" aircraft with a relatively large and sectioned fuselage, where the nose houses a large four-bladed propeller, a large intake below the spinner and numerous exhausts on the sides. Around the middle section, there is the small cockpit with a sliding canopy and the main wings mounted at the base of the aircraft (low-wing setup) with the corresponding ailerons, while the underside has dedicated hatches for the main landing gear. The tail boom houses the empennage with the horizontal stabilizers and the vertical stabilizer, while the lower side has a single tail wheel. Carl Johnson stands on top of the plane's left wing to open the hatch to reach the cockpit.

The Rustler is seen with a gray body and black/white stripes on the lower surfaces of the main wings and the tail boom. The primary color is applied to the upper surfaces of the fuselage, wings and horizontal stabilizers, while the secondary color is applied to the end of the nose, the wing tips and the vertical stabilizer.

The vehicle is armed with a set of six built-in machine guns fixed into the wings.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Vehicle

As expected from a fighter plane, the Rustler has impressive speed in the air and is very maneuverable, making it one of the easiest planes to fly, and it is also the first one provided to the player during the course of the story. However, it has a relatively long take-off time compared to other propeller-planes of its size. Like other propeller planes, it will stall when the player attempts to fly it vertically. The plane is also incredibly susceptible to damage.

The Rustler is powered by a V12 engine similar to its real-life inspirations, and uses a low-pitched sound also used on the Stuntplane.

Weaponry

The machine guns deal a moderate amount of damage, but they do not lock onto targets. Being coupled with the plane's impressive speed while in the air, this makes them difficult to use effectively. However, the Rustler can shoot down an AI-controlled Hydra in a dogfight with no problems, due to its maneuverability, speed, the machine guns' power and the guns' rate of fire.

  • The Rustler is one of the common planes that might crash randomly in the environment.
  • Like other planes that tilt upwards when parked (such as the Stuntplane, Nevada and Cropduster) the plane will move backwards when the Cars drive on water cheat is enabled.
  • The Beta version of the Rustler had a different nose which makes the plane looks more like a P-51 Mustang and less like a Curtis P-40 Warhawk.
