Auto Credit Based on 2rad2haveadad's AS-1

The Republic XF-84H Thunderscreech was an attempt at a supersonic piston engined plane. An attempt, at least. Ultimately the idea was scrapped due to instability, lack of success, and of course, noise complaints, its very name sake. Includes full cockpit with 2 indicator lights and a dial to show propellor blade angle. G1=Green=Engine on. (Throttle up to max, then gradually increse VTOL to take off) G2=Orange=Taxi mode, enables landing gear steering with yaw. The propellor angle control is a very responsive way to alter airspeed. Has moving throttle lever and control pad inside. Also, as a side note, it is unclear to me why this is listed as a variant of my AS-1.
