BX-15

Desc.

The BX-15 was a cargo liner capable of caring large loads and going long distances. It was a huge success after the original BX-12. The BX-12 was a medium sized paratroop/cargo/bomber requested to be built for, what is now famously known as D-day, to drop paratroopers for support of those storming the beaches. After the huge success of the BX-12 the company, known as PenguinX Industries, went to work to try to make another cargo plane that was cargo friendly and was not going to be shot at unless needed to be. They wanted a plane that the cargo door was at the back of the plane and not where the cargo would drop out from the bottom of the plane. They wanted something different from other cargo planes, so they came up with a weird design. They came up a five-engine plane with four propellor engines on the wings and one jet engine in the back of the plane. The plane has a top speed of somewhere around 350 mph. It currently has eight crates (Fuel blocks) in the back with parachutes attached to them. The BX-15 was a huge success mainly serving for cargo carrying and first aid to islands and other places effected by hurricanes and other disasters in general. The BX-15 had a few problems with it, but it was overall a great plane. The plane was an STOL aircraft with engines capable of tilting upwards to help in short takeoff. It is also an amphibious plane able to land in water for a short period of time and able to takeoff from water using its engines tilting up.

Controls

AG1: Cargo Door
AG2: Cargo Parachutes (Activate when cargo is completely out of cargo hold)
AG3-6: Cargo hold magnets (Closest to tail is 3, then 4, then 5, then 6, it activates both ground magnets and roof magnets[lowered by trim-I will get into that later-])
AG7: Activate this to help when on water
AG8: Activate Jet Engine
VTOL+UP: Propeller engine tilt (Don’t go all the way up or you will flip, also you should put them back as soon as you takeoff or you will flip, it’s a lot of propulsion so it will flip if they go all the way up)
TRIM+UP: Winches in cargo hold to move magnets on roof to move up and down (All four move all the time[Sorry I ran out of Activation Groups…])
Normal Controls from then on…

ATTENTION: Before flight please activate all the magnets and make sure all the cargo is attached to its own magnet if they are not attached they may break the plane or explode and damage the plane, ALSO make sure when dropping the cargo to not have the jet engine on or it will damage the cargo do not be alarmed if the cargo gets damaged there is a reason there is so many cargo crates. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BROKEN DEVICES OR JELOUSY OF PLANE (jk on the jealousy part I am joking about that) IF YOU GET MAD AT ME FOR HIGH PART COUNT, I AM SORRY IT HAD TO BE THAT MANY OR THE CARGO HOLD WHAT NO WORK PROPERLY.

Feel free to criticize my build! It will help me out with future builds and help me get better at building in SimplePlanes!! Enjoy the plane! Upvote if you like it!

(If you fit a car into the back of this and it drops without destroying the plane and itself let me know!! You can use this idc but please give me credit I put a lot of time and effort into this build)

Sorry for the high part count I have never had this many parts!!
