The Hammerhead

this is my all around plane it can do tons of things, the better you know it, the better it is. Have fun!

all of this is in the mid flight instructions as well.

Welcome to the Hammerhead!
please read all instructions before flight, this aircraft is fairly complicated

PLEASE NOTE EVERY PART ON THIS PLANE HAS BEEN HEAVILY XML MODDED. SOME ASPECTS OF PLANE ARE DANGFEROUS

Special features
- 0 drag, this makes crosswind no sweat and this also means you can glide forever. this reqires little force
- disabled aircraft collision responce on all parts, this means all parts survive crashes, however the explosives sometimes explode at weird angle crashes so be careful.
- countless health on all outside parts, this means this aircraft is effectivly invinsibe to gunfire (heavly xml modded guns being a exeption)
- missle resistant, missles bounce of aircraft at most angles (poximity detonation being an exeption)
- very bouyant, it floats!
- floats on land
- looks funny
- kool cockpit

Safty precautions
- dont take missle restisance for granted, use countermesures anyway
- speeds above 5k mph can lead to some sus things
- dont go above 75k feet, you might get lost in space
- dont ram into the ground
- take off landing gear after takeoff

Gears
Gear 1 - Small engine
Gear 2 - Medium engine
Gear 3 - Big engine
Gear 4 - gyro for self righting or vtol
Gear 5 - Kachow, self propelling (only) cannon
Gear 8 - improved yaw control
there are lights on the plane that indicate which gears are on

VTOL
the vtol stick when put above neutral, pushes aircraft upwards vise versa for below neutral. +25 percent vtol is all you need to float.
while using gear 4 you can move side to side by tilting aircraft, however while tilting you will need more vtol to maintain height
below neutral is only needed when you need downforce.

Landing Gear
using the laft stick (pitch and roll) you can move forwards backwards and side to side while hovering. yaw control still works.
flying is less optimal while landing gear is on so as soon as you take off, turn it off. this makes final aproach really easy. you dont need much height for final approach activate landing gear while in fianl approach apply brake and aim for sub 200 mph for landing. landing is really smooth if you kwtd.

Weapons
weapons are epic on this thing
- 96 hammers - multi role missles locks from about 9 miles away at 360 degrees in 0.1 seconds. they work too well without being too extreme
- 10 big boys - big bombs, nothing else to say here
the guns are really nice on this
kachow is not a weapon its technically a backup engine
