Republic XP-72 Super Thunderbolt Colab W/ EpicPigster1
(Instructions after "Read More") As the title says, this is the XP 72. I build the fuselage, landing gear, and cockpit. He made the kill marks, gunsight, wings, tail, and made it fly. We broke off and did our own color patterns near the end. Mine has a color scheme that belongs to an ace, with 7 german kills and 4 japanese kills. It has a checkered tail (that I made) and red wingtips and nose. It is armed with 2 rocket pods (normal rocket pod controlls in air to ground) and 2 dumb bombs. It has realistic speed and agilty. And because only 2 were built, we guessed the patterns.
History: The XP-72 was basically a beefed up P-47 Thunderbolt. It had a contra rotating propeller and more speed. It was near the end of the war when the U.S. needed escort fighters and didnt need interceptors, which is why only 2 were built.
Instructions:
-Takeoff = VTOL Down and 100%
-Inflight = Ag8 toggles nav lights
If the plane is tail heavy, VTOLl up slightly
-Landing = Come in at 50% and VTOL down
Touch down at 15-20% nice and slow and try not
to bounce. Use brake to stop
I hope you enjoy this plane, it to me and piggy a while to make. Enjoy
