Auto Credit Based on Allstar's Cold War Challenge

Still rough around the edges. To launch, go full throttle and activate 6. It may begin to lift off around 45-70 mph. Nose up and gain atleast 100 ft or more, then activate 1 for the landing gear. They are tied to throttle. de-activate 1 after they are stowed. Do not operate landing gear above 180mph! It may glitch yaw and it will roll during the landing gear storage. I'd like to redo the gear entirely. I haven't messed with xml so I'll have to bug you, @WalrusAircraft!

    @WalrusAircraft indeed. I'd be glad to see what you can do. The new gear are pretty amazing. I really do have to start fiddling with xml. @Allstarship I'll remove the vtol nozzles. I'll probably leave the vtol engine, to allow for a variety of missiles. @DeathFromAbove thank you. I'very been trying to avoid blocks as much as possible, kind of like @Hypnotoad. @TheLatentImage thank you. I had a little trouble with the fuselage but I'll learn to do better. @Teus Thank you. I've thought about having a separate function for closing the gear doors. The biggest problem with landing gear for me, I love the function of doors but in reality they aren't tied to the gear with the same range of motion per unit of time. They wait until the gear are in certain positions to perform certain tasks. If the doors close slow for the gear to retract first, they open slow and are in the way of extending those gear. I'll try again. It may have to be a little bigger to get all of it in there. Thanks again everyone I just got here for today. I'm off to see what everyone's done.

    @WeirdheadedRedbeard - I like it! If you allow me, I can fiddle with the XML and suggest numbers to adjust. Also check out my latest community contribution for landing gear.
