This is an alternate version of the F8F Bearcat used by the US Navy's Aerobatic Team known as the Blue Angels from 1946 to 1949. The model is based on EngineerOtaku's F8F-2 Bearcat .
Features Includes:
1. All weapons, pylons and centerline drop tank removed to make it lighter.
2. A new paintjob and markings to match the Blue Angels (not as accurate as it would seem).
3. Smoke canister (just a rocket modified to become a smoke trail maker) at the rear of the fuselage for aerobatic display.
Main Controls and Activation Groups:
A & D = Ailerons
W & S = Elevators
Q & E = Rudder
AG1 = Arrestor Hook
AG2 = Steerable Rear Wheel
AG3 = War Emergency Power (WEP)
AG8 = Master Arm For The Smoke Trail
VTOL = Flaps and Folding Wings
Credits to EngineerOtaku for a wonderful creation.
