Auto Credit Based on XWING's F-35

So I recently surpassed the 2,000 mark and decided to celabrate by redoing a favorite plane of mine with some of my new building skills. In contrast to my older version this one now looks better, flies better, has retractable landing gear, accelerates faster, and is in genral a better plane. So this is the F-35 JSF it is not for the amatuer however. It accelerates very quickyl so on takeoff pull up immidiatly. There is a slight roll left but hardly noticible. VTOL up is for gear detach1-4 for missles and 5 for bomb. Rate Comment and HAVE FUN!!!

    @PALSMACKINGTON actually the F-35 has bomb bays for missiles and bombs to stay stealthy.

    Beautiful but: -For the next version, add bomb bays (the real one has doors that open for bombs and missiles). -DONT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE :)

    Great jet and well balanced. The reason for the take off issue is that your rear wheels need to be placed just behind you're CoM... I suspect if you moved them the jet would take off by itself... Amazing turning as well!

    Nice one Xwing! I really love the performance this design pushes out, one way you can help the takeoff is to make the landing gear slightly dihedral so it has more stability.

    Now that's a big question, maybe build some Cold War jets there is a lot of undiscovered territory there especially in non-US tech. @ElijtheGeat

    Would you have any suggestions for what I should build next? I'm sort of stuck.

    It's badass. The cause of your slightly left turn are the top, bottom wings and the small wing at the back connected to the engine thruster housing. Naturally from having so much power I was expecting the plane to wobble on take off, there is only one way to over come that and that is creating opposite drag on the top of the plane to counter the gears being down also attached to the same VTOL command.

    Looks perfect, and trust this coming from plenty of time studying reference while building it. This surpasses mine on every level.
