XF-85 goblin (cold war challenge)
Yes, another X-perimental plane (pun intended!). This one was surprisingly hard to build, but i wont go into the harsh details... This is the XF-85 jet powered experimental fighter. As it was intended to be dropped from bombers there is a trolley to air in take off. Since it is also very small the plane is a very slow pitching plane, due to the small control surfaces, but is extremely good at rolling. Also there is a reason i didnt put any control surfaces on the closest part of the e wing to the body, it is because it would nick the trolley and crash. Also here are some intructions:
1. Retract landing gear- i have only put it on there for the few that want to tey and land it.
2. Full power-thrust is importaint.
3. Pull back on the pitch-aka pull up.
4 at around 130MP/H press group 1 ACT- also dont worry about the trolley vering, as it is at this point that you should detach from it.
5 fly around- have some fun.
IMPORTANT: follow these instructions for a very clean take off, otherwise there is a high possibility of crashing on take off.
