FP/F-8C 'Eagle'


Elang or Eagle In English was an interceptor developed by Indonesia and Malaysia to compete against other advanced aircraft. This plane capable for V/STOL from carrier or normal runway. Eagle can reach speed more than 2.000 kmph within few seconds. It's very agile and fast to support its role as an interceptor. Eagle was planned to be a stealth aircraft, but the plan cancelled due small internal weapon bay. But even without stealth capabilities, it still able to fit it's role as an interceptor.

Control
VTOL Control (Activate AG1)
55% Throttle To Hover, Above 55% to climb up, don't worry to maximize the throttle, it won't climb too fast.
Pitch to move slowly, you can also move by sliding VTOL, VTOL up to move forward, Down to move backward
~
To switch to normal flight, set throttle to 100%, slide VTOL halfway up, activate AG2, wait for few second, Set Throttle to 0 (Optional, doest affect to much), Slide trim a little bit down, and deactivate AG1. After this done, you can freely slide VTOL to Increase or increase speed.
Roll to slide right/left
Yaw to turn
STOL
Simple,
First, Turn on AG1 and AG2
Set throttle to 100%
Then, slide VTOL halfway up
Normal Takeoff
Activate AG2, then slide VTOL all the way up for maximum speed, and slide down to decrease speed

Other Activation Group
AG3-4 - Internal Weapon Bay
AG5 - Launch All Missiles (Except Internal Missile)
AG6 - Lights
AG7 - Hook
AG8 - Unfold Wing

NOTE
-Slide the trim a little bit down to keep the plane fly straight
-The faster the plane move, the more agile it become, but so far I tested it, no problem found, it still stable as long as you slide the trim a little bit down
-Be carefull when add additional parts or weapons to the plane, VTOL might unstable. If you want to add something, set mass scale to 0 to avoid that problem


And of course, have a great day
