Introduction

I saw a photo of a L139 Albatross that had this cool scheme where it looked from above like a Spitfire so here we have my own two seat jet trainer with the same type of scheme.

This build was started nearly a year ago, i was never very happy with some of the way the shapes interacted so i abandoned it, fast forward a year and i spent some significant time reworking camo, adding and sorting undercarriage and generally sorting the build out. It did come out heavier than i was intending but that seems to assist with the flying model anyway.

It has suspension now on all three legs and a nicely sequenced undercarriage retraction / extension process.

Controls

AG1=start the engine
VTOL dn = flaps
LG = landing gear.

Features

o cool colour scheme
o sequenced undercarriage (doors inc)
o undercarriage bays
o suspension on undercarriage
o funkyplant code for reheat (works when AG1 is on and throttle exceeds 85% ish)
o solid flight model

Note: I am now down to 18 started but unfinished builds (some will be abandoned), I have 3 finished builds ready to post (when i get around to doing the articles), 1 revised build ready to post (article again) and 1 advanced build I am currently having fun with =) I am spacing build posting out to between 3-5 days, this is much quicker than i normally would and in no way represents the quality or time spent on builds, i have just been finishing builds that were 80-90% done.
