This has got to be one of my most favourite builds yet so I hope everybody enjoys it as much as I did making and testing it

Activator 6 to retract gears (deactivate 6 to lock and/or reduce throttle to extend. Activator 1 for wing mounted missiles. Activator 2 for drop tanks/bombs. Activators 3 and 4 for missiles under the fuselage (3 first to avoid explosion). Activator 5 for additional missiles on the wings (only use when wings are forward and flying straight). VTOL either way to sweep wings back

The plane is fastest when all ordinances have been dropped and the wings are forward at 30k+ feet. I couldn't get the mounts on the wings to spin as well so they act as slight air brakes when the wings are swept back.

Also to note, it's full sized and comes complete with RAF logos.

Update: Now with nose cone spike.

    @Scriefers There are modded detachers inside the missiles on this plane, the ones farthest out. They are 1000% power. They are hidden within the rotator blocks.

    Unfortunately it's the same case with structural wings too @Authros. Guess we gotta wait till someone makes a modded detacher that has increased jettison force.

    Lovely job, like the swing wing with swing ordinance. Can you show us how you get the tailplane to move as an All Flying Jobbie, something I haven't figured out yet without making something massively wide.

    @Authros Seeing what you did with the F-14, I would be floored to see your version of the F-15. That f-14 is flawless.

    @Scriefers I've only recently dabbled with using projections and bombs so haven't come across this limitation yet. Is this with structural wings too?

    I still might make a new F-15 for you @WeeBabySeamus because I know you like that plane.

    This is superb! I love the accommodating wing pylons when you sweep the wings back. Very nice! You might be aware of this already, but to get optimal performance out of 'wing' missiles, I've learned that you can't clip more than three separate wing pieces. Any more than 3 and I guess it gets too heavy for a detacher to launch effectively. Kind of a bummer cuz it limits missile designs...

    @Eric314 I forgot to add the nose spike. I've also noticed I have lost the red from the RCN'S which is a shame but too late to delete and repost again now. If you can edit xml then change the second material of all 4 RCN'S to 8 instead of -3.
