Author's Notes
- This aircraft is capable of doing Pugachev's Cobra. Set throttle to 0%, slow down to 200-700 kmh (The slower you are, the longer you will hang in the air), and apply maximum upward pitch and maximum upward VTOL (I recommend manipulating the slider with your mouse). The plane will lift to a 90ish degree angle and once it stops pitching up, return the VTOL to 0 and let off the pitch. The plane will then want to return to normal flight. As it returns, apply upward pitch as necessary. (It's kind of hard to explain, you just have to practice and get a feel for it.)
- If you apply maximum downward VTOL at the height of a cobra, you can do a kulbit, but it's unreliable and I don't have it down to a science yet. (But, I do recommend going a little faster, probably 800-900 kmh)
- Naturally, the lack of a payload makes this more maneuverable than my normal F/A-18C
- I recommend using the Zoom Mod by MOPCKOEDNISHE and 90+ FOV for Cam3 and Cam4
- The fuel on this plane is unlimited
- This plane was made before I started using blueprints
