Ag.1 to allow the turrets to move with roll and pitch.
Ag.8 to dissable control surfaces to better use the turrets.
Ag.2 for lights.
VTOL opens the bomb bay.
Trim for flaps.

Developed in the mid to late 40s with the idea of potentialy a conventional war with the USSR. One prototype was produced for testing with the RAF in 1951. It was found to handle reasonably well but funding was dropped in favour of aircraft able to carry an atomic bomb.
It carrys two 500lb bombs (probably larger in proportion to the plane). Two .303 machine guns in the top turret and two 20mm's in the tail. And some flares.

    Handling, stability, agility: 9.5/10 - my absolute only problem with the Sodsworth XV-800 is that it rolls a heap, although it's not enough to take a full point away. 
    
    Realistic model and behavior: 10/10 - the Sodsworth XV-800 flies very nice and its docile behavior makes it very admirable.
    
    Details, paint and other: 10/10 - very nicely built, well fleshed, and great detailing. I love it.
    
    Build quality: 10/10 - no flaws seen here, the aircraft is well designed and functions amazingly.
    
    Personal impression: 10/10 - the Sodsworth XV-800 immediately caught my attention with it's detail and design, and kept me here with its performance.
    
    Description: 8/10 - there's a valid history to the aircraft, although I feel a little more could have been put into it.
    

    Final Score: 57.5/60
