Introduction

I was inspired by the Rockwell ATF project (cancelled of course), but this is probably my most detailed build to date with more features and details than normal (listed below under the controls section).

Controls

AG1 = turn on engines#
AG2 = enable thrust vectoring (in the vertical plane - warning this can lead to some instability if over exuberant)
AG3 = airbrakes (top and bottom)
AG4 = landing drag chute
AG5 = Eject
AG7 = nav lights
AG8 = close cockpit
