Now with hollow gear bays!
Act. 1 - Fold wings
Act. 2 - Drop tailhook
Act. 8 - Toggle nosewheel steering
The RA-5C was the reconnaissance version of the A-5 Vigilante attack and bomber aircraft. It was capable of Mach 2, the same speed as the A-5A, but carried additional fuel. and a recon pod which housed radar and camera systems. While the RA-5C did have the same bomb bay system as the A-5A, it was never loaded while the RA-5C was in service. This one features realistic speed, afterburners, a tailhook, carrier capability and flaps with two settings: 40 degrees and 50 degrees at 80% VTOL, just like the real thing.

I did the spoilers wrong, maybe I’ll make an A3J at some point with ones that actually work, and a bomb bay
USAF VERSION OF MIG-25!!!!!
beauty scale jet
@3AMIndustries thanks! I’m making an XB-70 once the update comes out
@asteroidbook345 whether you make one or not I’m looking forward to your next build, they’re always quite detailed and functional.
@3AMIndustries I might make an A3J because of how I did the spoilers at some point. I have to finish my T-32 and begin on a very large project as well so it won’t be for at least a month if not two
Would you mind making a nuclear bomber version with the ejectable tail cone
@projectOccident lol I hope you have fun
@BogdanX I hope you do more of these in the future, they’re the only ones that I actually find challenging lol
@BogdanX hit the brakes and it’ll decelerate just fine
@BogdanX I’m going to remake the wings on this and add a full livery, more detailed landing gear, gear bay interior details, and a bomb bay at some point, I’m not super happy with it functionally speaking.
@BogdanX In terms of looks this one is better, but the U-2 is better in terms of functionality, so it’s probably better overall
@UserP194 yes
@BogdanX I actually read up about the spoilers in a book I have after the fact and I was really annoyed with it, I think I’ll make an A3J with proper ones later with more parts. I don’t think I saw the cutaway you sent me but the book I have has a cutaway of them.
@BogdanX none of this is my fault, I asked ED when I uploaded, he was asleep. You’re closer to him than I am lol
North American Mig 31
@Vincent yeah I thought not lol
@asteroidbook345 I Didn't mean to feature, sorry to get your hopes up.
@Default4 I think it was an accident

@BogdanX it’s done now
@EternalDarkness thanks
@asteroidbook345 sure.
@Vincent I’ll get the link if you’d like. It’s Bogdan’s 333 challenge. Thanks so much for the feature!
