Auto Credit Based on Oblivion's AC-130 (real props)

I made some weight improvements for better control and I added a working cargo door. (activated with 2 controlled with vtol slider) If anyone can build something that will go into the cargo space please do so. This is also for Elithegreat's 5 star challenge

@Thebrendon55c Thanks: it's easy when you started with such a great aircraft! Here's my updated version. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/KJlm0v/C-130J# Change Log: Added 2 Engines. moved engines forward for better flight control. Changed loading ramp for better shape. Added three adjustable flaps. Group 3 is the leading edge flap on the tail, Group 6 is the tail flap, (Only use on landing) 1 is control for prop Pitch. Also I've built a little car to be air dropped

@jquinn88 well please share your design with us I love it when people find ways to improve planes and make them even better.

I've also added two adjustable flaps that make this a very level flying aircraft requiring no input.

@Thebrendon55c No, actually you just need to change the shape of the prop. It makes 75 Degree work, but does limit your full angle thrust reverse. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/l0NNm5/Sea-Duck-MK-X

@jquinn88 if you do make it work you have to move the props out from the wings and then it just looks bad

Great design. I'm currently working on tweaking a few things: I've added my turboprops with 75 Degree pitch and two extra nozzles per assembly, and building in a trim tab to help with it's pitch problem. I'll share it with you when it's done.

It looks pretty cool, so definitly five stars, but I'm sorry you did not use the same cockpit, you could try saving the plane without the cockpit as a sub assembly and then place the cockpit challenge on it

@JacobHardy64 This isnt an AC-130 Gunship like the spooky or spectre. Its a transport like the hercules from the A-Team.
